Attending the NAMI Legislative Town Hall was a pleasure and an important opportunity to be part of thoughtful conversations around mental health and policy.

We appreciated hearing from legislators who took time to engage with the community:
• Michelle Mussman (Schaumburg)
• Mary Beth Canty (Arlington Heights)
• Tracy Katz Muhl (Northbrook)
• Suzanne Ness (Carpentersville)


Meaningful dialogue like this helps strengthen understanding and advocacy across our region. Thank you to for bringing people together around mental health.
