I heard about NAMI for years, I was never interested in joining. After attending other mental health programs in the area I became disenchanted. I saw a flyer from NAMI Los Angeles South Central Affiliate Share & Care support group and decided to attend.

My first meeting was two years ago at Augustus Hawkins Family Center. Not knowing what to expect at this meeting, I was surprised to find that it was a small group and that everyone's needs were different.

Being diagnosed with depression, I needed a place to vent without being judged. I found that this group is what I was looking for and needed. They welcomed me in and are now my extended family. They understand my challenges and accepted me for who I am, which is a pretty good person.

Thank You NAMI!
