NAMI CLACKAMAS IS A GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS AFFECTED BY MENTAL ILLNESS.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PRESENTATIONS PROVIDE A STRUCTURE FOR EDUCATING THE PUBLIC, REDUCING STIGMA AND DISCRIMINATION. PUBLIC AWARENESS EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING MENTAL ILLNESS AWARENESS WEEK AND NAMIWALKS, SUCCESSFULLY FIGHT STIGMA AND ENCOURAGE UNDERSTANDING. NAMI WORKS WITH SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, THE FAITH COMMUNITY, BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS AND WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY ON A DAILY BASIS TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT MENTAL HEALTH IS. CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O.
PEER RESOURCE CONNECTION SERVICES (PERC) PAIRS A PERSON AFFECTED BY MENTAL ILLNESS WITH ANOTHER TRAINED INDIVIDUAL WITH EXPERIENCE IN MENTAL ILLNESS TO WORK ONE-ON-ONE TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY RESOURCES, APPLY FOR PROGRAMS THAT THEY MAY QUALIFY FOR INCLUDING REDUCED AND FREE MEDICATIONS, AND OFFER THE SUPPORT AND INSIGHT OF A PERSON WHO HAS SIMILAR LIFE EXPERIENCES. THE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES OTHER ASSISTANCE AND RESOURCES AS NEEDED FOR ATTAINING AND SUSTAINING RECOVERY. DURING THE LAST FISCAL YEAR WE CONDUCTED 250 ONE-ON-ONE APPOINTMENTS, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH WERE FOR PEOPLE WHO SELF-IDENTIFIED AS HAVING A MENTAL HEALTH CONCERN OF THEIR OWN BUT INCLUDED FAMILY, FRIENDS AND PROVIDERS LOOKING FOR HELP AND RESOURCES.
SUPPORT GROUPS ARE FREE, DROP-IN, PEER-LED GROUPS FOR ADULTS LIVING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS AND THOSE WHO LOVE AND CARE ABOUT THEM. PARTICIPANTS GAIN INSIGHT FROM HEARING THE CHALLENGES AND SUCCESSES OF OTHERS. GROUPS ARE LED BY NAMI-TRAINED FACILITATORS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCES SIMILAR TO THOSE WHO ARE ATTENDING. ONE MONTHLY GROUP OFFERS AN EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT IN THE FORM OF A SPEAKER, PRESENTATION, MOVIE ON ANY TOPICS THAT COULD BE HELPFUL TO THE PARTICIPANTS. SUPPORT GROUPS WERE HELD IN OREGON CITY, MOLALLA, SANDY, MILWAUKIE AND CLACKAMAS AND THEN TRANSITIONED TO VIRTUAL GROUPS WHEN COVID 19 PREVENTED PARTICIPANTS FROM MEETING IN PERSON. ONE CLIENT WROTE US "I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS WITHOUT YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU"
