Testimonials
From a Family to Family participant: "It was the moment of entering the Family to Family classroom that I realized…I was not alone. This course empowered and energized me."
From an In Our Own Voice speaker: "My life today has changed in spite of myself. Because NAMI NH believed more in me than I did, I have the courage to speak out on my beliefs, about mental illness, and more important, letting people into my world. I would never have let anyone know anything about me, let alone I was mentally disabled."
From a Visions for Tomorrow teacher: "I had a parent in this last Visions For Tomorrow group that was sobbing on week 7, saying how much she has learned from VFT and that she felt so alone before the class and didn't understand what was happening to herself, her daughter, and her grandchildren who have all been diagnosed with brain disorders. It felt wonderful to know we had helped someone to understand brain disorders better and that they were not alone."
"NAMI NH came to my rescue by offering me a program called “Family To Family”. This educational program was a turning point for me, helping me to separate my daughter from the debilitating and frustrating symptoms of her disorder."
"NAMI has the programs to educate parents, families, mental health consumers and the public. NAMI has the people, volunteers like me, that get out there every day, all over the state, to provide the education and support that’s needed to change peoples lives."
"The most important thing I got from NAMI is HOPE!! NAMI taught me not to give up, to hold on to hope and to believe, and it is THAT which has made such a positive difference in my life, and in my child’s life, every day."
"I am a part of NAMI because I know first hand that recovery is real. Now I want to be that bridge that will help people get to the path of recovery."
"I wish I had had these resources years ago when we first started struggling with these issues in our family, it would have really helped us to cope."
"Knowing that NAMI NH is there when I need it has made a world of a difference to me, it has been a comfort and a friend."
