National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI NC) and Partners in Health and Wholeness
As we wrap up another important Mental Health Awareness Month this May- let us all continue to learn, eliminate stigma, ask hard questions, seek support, and provide hope around mental health. In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month, our team would like to share two informative recordings from Partners in Health and Wholeness, an initiative of the NC Council of Churches. The first video is a warm, informative conversation with the Executive Director of NAMI NC, the Rev. Dr. Garry Crites, titled: "The Saint’s Complaint: Getting Religion’s Focus on Mental Health Right". You will hear about both the possibilities and the challenges at the intersection between religion and mental health, and how we, in our faith traditions, can get it right. You will also hear about the many resources that NAMI NC provides. Our second video a timely conversation on "Older Adults & Mental Health" with Carol Diggs and Mary Anne Fritts of the Therapeutic Alternatives Geriatri
