NAMI Shoreline Affiliate, Connecticut's Board Secretary Lucyann Sacco share's how NAMI has impacted her life:
"When a crisis occurred in my life, I found myself without resources and support. I was exhausted, and navigating in uncharted territory, trying to keep some semblance of a life together, sharing just a little with well-meaning family members who didn't quite get it either. It wasn't until years later that I came to know about NAMI CT. I received free training and found a network of experts and people with similar experiences. If I had known them when I needed them, it still would have been difficult, but I would not have been so isolated. Sometimes, just a few words of empathy from someone who has been there can help you power through a crisis. Education can provide you with insight and skills. I urge you to reach out if you need resources, especially at this time. Please donate to NAMI Connecticut to ensure that the #advocacy, #education, and #support can continue. 💙"
