Testimonials
“Wrap Around services give me the support I need to get the children off to school each morning and cope with the emotional and physical stress of two children with bipolar illness.”
Mother in Clark County
“I was terrified to leave my wife at home alone. She was depressed, paranoid and responding to voices. Now with help from NAMI and a mental health case worker and psychiatrist, I feel it is safe to leave Mary at home and go to work.”
Clark County Family Member
“Harold was anxious and fearful all the time. If I left him alone for any length of time, he panicked and called the squad. This was not the Harold I had been married to for 42 years. We found a “Companion” program, a counselor and the right medication. I’m so grateful to have Harold back.”
