NAMI Hurricane Aid

I do not have the words to express my anger over the lack of response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Too little, too late, they are saying. I would be a much harsher critic. The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) is responding to the needs of the mentally ill […]
