Nadine P Fenderson, LCSW
"I worked at a middle school for five years and NAMI support was instrumental in our ability to assist the school community in grieving, healing and moving forward from the death of a student from suicide. In addition, NAMI provided support and guidance in developing prevention, intervention and postvention strategies to minimize risk. Very grateful for the knowledge I have received from NAMI."

"Coming back from COVID to in-person education has been extremely difficult for so many young people--the anxiety about school and peers, fear of what comes after high school, constant social media pressure, events which affect families like finances, housing, and food, etc.,--all have made many more students express wanting to end their lives. More than ever, I appreciate the training, resources, and networking NAMI provides me in my professional career!"
