Howdy! I’m AJ Dome, the new NAMI Golden Plains affiliate leader. I’m a Southwest Kansas native, a lover of all critters (even gremlins like Rambo in the photo), and a mental health advocate. I’ve been sober for six years now, and as I get older I‘m finding more opportunities to serve my community and my Kansas.

That being said, I cannot operate alone. I could use your help — especially if you’re a resident of north-central and northwest Kansas. If you’re interested in helping NAMI Golden Plains grow and thrive, or if you’re just curious about NAMI, I encourage you to follow the link to our interest form in the comments below.

Thank you! ☕️
