There is a distinct kind of relief that comes from talking to someone who doesn't just sympathize with your situation, but actually gets it because they've walked in those exact shoes.

I chose to become a volunteer with NAMI because, as an active member since 2024 and consumer of NAMI’s free services and support groups, I have experienced firsthand how meaningful and valuable these resources can be. I know what it feels like to need support and to take that first difficult step toward asking for help.Based on my own experience, I want to reach out to others who may be struggling and help connect them with the services and support that NAMI offers. I want people to know that they are not alone and that there is a place where they can find understanding, compassion, and hope. Volunteering with NAMI also gives me the opportunity to advocate for mental health awareness and bring greater attention to the incredible work this organization does in our community. NAMI provides a greatly needed service to the Herkimer-Oneida area, offering free resources, education, advocacy, and support to individuals and families affected by mental health challenges. For me, volunteering is a way of giving back to an organization that helped me when I needed it most. I hope to use my voice and my personal experience to help others find the same support, encouragement, and hope that I found through NAMI.
