NAMI Mass Lobby Day April 16th
A Great Success!

Over 300 NAMI members came to the State House in Boston on Wednesday April 16 to lobby our legislators for their support for current mental health legislation including a Comprehensive Children's Mental Health Service System. It was a great success!

Please find our NAMI position paper on Children's Mental Health and a recent article from the Lowell Sun regarding NAMI's Lobby Day. 

My thanks to all who supported our Lobby Day efforts.
