Please join us in welcoming our newest board member, Sheila Silman ๐
We are honored to have Sheila rejoin our board, bringing decades of experience, compassion, and dedication to mental health advocacy in our community.
"I was on the NAMI Board from 2008-2020 and am excited to rejoin this valued community resource that helps empower individuals and families navigate the stigmas and frustrations of mental health.
When working with a large amount of people, itโs so important to remember the individual. Thatโs always been my passion throughout my life. If you take a picture of 500 people you see the big picture, yet itโs 500 individuals. Each with their own story and varied needs. My career was focused one person at a time and those who struggle with mental health need that individual focus. Thatโs NAMIโs Peer-to-Peer and Family-to-Family programs are so vital!"
Welcome back, Sheila, weโre so grateful to have you ๐
