Dear Friends of NAMI Massachusetts,

Last year, I was asked to become the President of the Board of NAMI Massachusetts. I was honored and humbled to assume this responsibility for such a vibrant organiza- tion. NAMI Massachusetts is an organization that has built a solid foundation over the years. It has a clear mission (education, support, and advocacy), recruited capable, well-qualified staff, built a broad base of funding sources, and employed prudent and sound financial management. We are fortunate to have recruited an engaged, empathic and active board. Perhaps most importantly we are a volunteer-driven organization and are lucky to have enlisted an enthusiastic pool of devoted volunteers who are commit- ted to making NAMI Massachusetts a success whether at the Walk, teaching a course, Tom Scurfield facilitating a support group or working diligently at the Affiliate level. I know first-hand, as an Affiliate member, Family-to-Family member and teacher, Walk team captain and now as your Board President, the passion and commitment you all bring to NAMI Massachusetts. Thank you all. Together, we can keep NAMI Mass strong!

During the last year, there has been a significant change at NAMI Massachusetts with the departure of our long-standing Executive Director Laurie Martinelli. Since 2007 Laurie led the organization through significant growth, expanding and strengthening the programs we run, and building NAMI Massachusetts into a powerhouse in the local mental health community. We are grateful to Laurie for her leadership over the last ten years, and we wish her well in all future endeavors. ADVOCACY DAY With change comes opportunity. Early in the spring, the Board established a search committee to find a new Executive Director for NAMI Massachusetts and over the summer, the committee has worked diligently to accomplish this task. Under the guidance of a consultant, I am able to report a rigorous search has been completed, and a new executive director has been selected by unanimous vote of the search committee. I expect to introduce Cheri Andes the new Executive Director to all the stakeholders present at the NAMI Massachusetts State Convention in Taunton on October 28 at the Holiday Inn. The board confidently looks forward to welcoming her and working with her for many years to come, continuing our growth, expanding our vision and under her dynamic leadership working assiduously on our goals NAMI CONVENTION and objectives.

For Cheri to build a strong foundation of knowledge and to assist her in leading us into the future, I encourage you all to find an opportunity during the next few months to meet her and welcome her to NAMI Massachusetts.

Together we can make a difference for all people affected by mental health challenges in the Commonwealth. Thank you all.

NAMI MA 1 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Allies for Student Mental Health Schools are recognizing that mental health conditions interfere with students’ ability to learn. Some schools have faced tragic losses by suicide. Most schools are experiencing a stark increase in hospitalizations for students struggling with emotional challenges. Schools realize they need to train their staff on issues of suicide prevention, mindfulness, trauma sensitivity and mental health. “Difficult topic, but seamlessly presented…”

Allies for Student Mental Health (ASMH) has evolved and grown as an offering to schools in Massachusetts. Educators get the professional development to recognize common mental health issues that children and teens struggle with. The program provides a panel of different perspectives including a person with a mental health condition, a clinician and teacher to give specific cases and tips to work with students, and a family member’s journey. The evaluations often state that the personal stories are the most impactful part of the presentation, helping the teachers truly understand the experiences of their struggling students. For FY2017, ASMH was presented 28 times to pre-schools through high Life-changing schools. Several school superintendents invited us back multiple times to reach every grade level. information Last July, we were invited back to the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents Executive Institute, and in November we were — the BEST EVER — invited to speak to the Massachusetts Association of School Committees in Hyannis as part of their annual conference. keep doing what We look forward to the continued growth of Allies for Student Mental you are doing Health, ideally coupled with NAMI Mass presentations of In Our Own Voice to the students and NAMI Basics education program to parents.

IN OUR OWN VOICE FY’15 FY’16 FY’17 Total Number of Presentations 209 309 477 Total People Reached 5010 9806 14,532 The Power of Breaking Down Discrimination Begins with a SINGLE STORY PRESENTERS The only shameful thing about mental health conditions is the stigma attached to them. Elders (over 65) This discrimination leads to isolation, misinformation, and all too often prevents people from seeking help. Stigma is rooted in silence, and silence feeds stigma. When we share LGBTQ our stories, the presenters of IOOV help break that cycle. By speaking up, we show others Veterans that they are not alone; that things can get better and that help is available. Each of us is Asian living, breathing, talking proof that it is possible to create a life worth living. American With the continued growth and expansion of IOOV, it was critically important to diver- Latinex sify our roster to increase the number of presenters from minority and underrepresented African American groups. And we did just that—in FY2017 we held three trainings with 35 new presenters joining the IOOV team. Young Adult This was accomplished through “boots on the ground” outreach in the community, and Substance thorough interviews, and vetting. It is also clear that holding trainings in areas where the Use trainees live increased interest and attendance, fostered connection and demonstrated Challenges the commitment on the part of the IOOV program to the communities we serve. Today the IOOV roster is far more heterogeneous — of our 79 active presenters (did a presentation in the past year) 47 are members of at least one minority group. That means that slightly over half of NAMI Mass In Our Own Voice presenters are from underrepresented groups. With our increased diversity, I am confident that we will offer more meaningful, relatable presentations to the venues we serve.

NAMI MA 3 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Advocacy Day & Legislative Priorities Advocacy on the state and federal level was active in FY2017. With the healthcare debates and threatened decimation of the Affordable Care Act on the federal side, plus the lack of federal monies going to mental health research at the National Institute of Mental Health, we kept busy. At the NAMI National Convention in Wash- ington, DC we visited Senators Warren and Markey and visited our representatives as well. Add to that our Massachusetts legislative priorities and you can see we kept ourselves engaged on this front. Our Advocacy Day held on Monday, April 3, 2017 drew a crowd of over 200 to the State House. Our program was on our successful and much needed criminal justice diversion project. Speakers included Representative Linda Dean Campbell and Police Sergeant Chris Malinn. With the right mental health training and partnerships, police and other first responders can de-escalate situations, prevent unnecessary arrest or violence, reduce the likelihood of injury to themselves or the individuals they detain, and connect people to appropriate treatment and support. Currently, only 20% of police departments in the Commonwealth have access to Crisis Intervention Training.

NAMI MA 7 2017 ANNUAL REPORT CEOs Against Stigma CASE STUDY: Berkshire County Sheriff Tom Bowler Sheriff Tom Bowler, chief law enforcement officer in Berkshire County, wasn’t the first Sheriff to sign onto NAMI Mass’ CEOs Against Stigma campaign, but he was the first Sheriff to host NAMI’s In Our Own Voice presentation. When he signed the CEOs Against Stigma pledge in February 2016, Sheriff Bowler made a formal commitment to tackle the stigma surrounding mental health for his 225 employees. On April 11, 2016, at the Pittsfield Jail, Sheriff Bowler hosted the NAMI Mass presentation In Our Own Voice, a key component of the CEOs Against Stigma campaign. In discussing stress management with the officers, balance emerged as a theme. One man shared that each night when he leaves work, he rolls down, his car windows and drives home in complete silence. Another shared that humor is key, and his wife keeps him grounded. It was clear from the conversation I am proud to that developing self-care practices to disengage from the workplace are key. In her support NAMI’s evaluation, another officer shared that the way she manages is a re-entry ritual of campaign to checking on her sleeping child. She wrote, “I never thought of it as a coping skill, but I guess it is. I drop my stuff and go in and look at my daughter, I put my hand on her ensure stigma-free back to make sure she’s breathing. I have to know that she is okay—I listen to her workplaces… breathing and I can feel myself relax.
