NAMI Pasco Needs Your Help
NAMI Pasco is asking the community to come together to support mental health for all.
It’s a new day for mental health in America. More people are speaking openly about their mental health conditions than ever before, and the need for mental health services is on the rise.
In 2020 NAMI Pasco saw a 1,455% increase in the utilization of services, in 2021 they served 761 people with mental health conditions and their loved ones, and their goal this year is 1,000.
“The pandemic has caused a massive increase in the need for mental health services. It is currently reported that 1 in 3 people are experiencing some kind of mental health challenge. Here at NAMI Pasco, we serve everyone who comes to us needing support. All our services are free and there is something offered every day of the year.” Says Debbie L. Proulx, Executive Director of NAMI Pasco
