Mental Illness Awareness Week is always the first week in October and reminds us all that mental illness affects everyone directly or indirectly through family, friends or co-workers. You are not alone, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Westchester is here to help! NAMI Westchester offers free support groups, if you are interested in joining call their office 914-592-5458.
