NAMI Day Success!

NAMI Tri-Cities and Yakima members, who traveled over the mountains and were part of this special day to help raise the banner high for mental health, deserve much appreciation and thanks. There were an estimated 100 people coming throughout the day.

Thanks to Gordon Bopp for recognizing the fine work of legislators who champion our cause. This kind of positive reinforcement is a great way to develop long term support. Other affiliate leaders like Jim Bloss and Erica Horn provided additional information and support to bring it all together. NAMI Thurston County were once again the hosts and we appreciate their help.

All in all, people did a great job of raising the need for emergency clubhouse funding. Likewise, it was an excellent time to get words of gratitude to all the Senators for the unanimous floor vote in favor of the Transitional Housing Operating and Rental bill (SB959). For the first time ever it opened this particular housing assistance to individuals (including but not limited to people with mental illness) as well as families!
