MEDIA OPPORTUNITY: Child and Young Adult Mental Health

A national news producer would like to talk with families currently trying to find help for a child, teenager or young adult in their 20s, but who are finding barriers or gaps in the mental health care system. Please send a summary of your situation to NAMI Media Relations bobc@nami.org and copy Meghan.Frank@nbcuni.com, including telephone contact information.  Only a few personal stories will be selected, but all will be considered. They will be kept confidential until permission is explicitly given for use. Please also forward this notice to anyone whom you think might be interested. Thanks for your help.
