Thank you Collier Coalition for Healthy Minds for sharing Michelle Borders success! We are so blessed to have her leadership and support! The impact she will have on the groups she facilitates allows families to know they are never alone.
More groups being added in August!! Adding Monday evenings along with our Wednesdays due to our tremendous increase in participation & need in our community.

Michelle Borders has been a volunteer on the Priority Six Prevention, Education and Advocacy Committee since the Coalition formed. Through our educational opportunities, she has shared her personal story about her family's struggle and is a fierce advocate for opening the dialog about mental health so that no family suffers in silence. She has taken that passion further and is now a new NAMI Collier County Certified Family Support Group Facilitator where she creates a safe space for caregivers to share stories of challenges and successes. Thank you for all you do Michelle to help fight stigma and offer hope.
