Your Voice for Mental Health Dear Friends:

FY 2014 was a productive year! We hope you agree that our education and support programs, and our strong advocacy, make us your voice for mental health. Please review this Annual Report to find out how we do it.

We’re excited to report on two new projects that began in 2014: • Our Resource/Helpline is expanding dramatically to connect family members and peers to services available statewide. We hear a constant refrain that services are limited and inadequate, which is a fact. But it is also a fact that many services in Massachusetts, public and private, exist and are working well. S. Stephen Rosenfeld Typically, when a mental health crisis occurs, a family has no idea where to go for help. In too many cases, the information offered is too general, outdated, and poorly thought through. NAMI Mass is addressing these shortfalls by creating a state-of-the-art, accessible database, and a trained corps of staff and volunteers, including peers and their families. Our launch is scheduled for early 2015. • Our veterans’ program offers NAMI Connection, a free weekly recovery support group for vets living with mental illness. People learn from one another’s experiences, share coping strategies and offer mutual Laurie Martinelli encouragement and support. The groups provide an ongoing opportunity to discuss the challenges of living with mental illness and techniques for maintaining wellness. Thanks to a generous grant from Attorney General Martha Coakley, we were able to hire our own Veterans’ Outreach Coordinator. Now, we offer NAMI Connection weekly support groups for vets in Somerville and Haverhill, with more to come.

In addition, the NAMI Massachusetts Criminal Justice Diversion Project continues to train police officers all over the state to better handle mental health crises. During 2014 as well, an anonymous donor gave NAMI Mass $50,000 to fund a new diversity outreach program, which is just underway. On the education and support fronts, we presented more In Our Own Voice programs, more Family-to-Family programs, and more Connection support groups than ever before.

Finally, your voice is being heard on Beacon Hill. Thanks to all the advocacy conducted by NAMI Mass members across the Commonwealth, the final DMH budget for FY 2015 is $32.5 million more than it was in FY 2014. But the total DMH budget of $736 million is still not enough! Community mental health services and supports, and an adequate number of psychiatric beds are still lacking. Many NAMI members know first-hand how hard it is to find these services, and many don’t exist. This is an area where NAMI members need to remain fully engaged.

NAMI Mass hosted a very successful fundraiser last March, 2014. We were honored to have Senator Elizabeth Warren join us to talk about the federal government’s view of mental health issues and why it is so important for folks to speak to their elected officials when services are insufficient. It was a great event with over 200 NAMI members and friends in attendance. And we raised over $80,000, which is a record non-Walk fundraiser for NAMI Mass.

We want to thank our membership, volunteers, our allies in health care and law enforcement for your support and compassion. And to all our donors — without you we would not be able to offer all these programs at no cost to families and peers. Thank you for helping us make positive change in people’s lives.

Sincerely,

S. Stephen Rosenfeld Laurie Martinelli NAMI Mass, Board President Executive Director
