Working to improve the lives of children and adults living with mental illnesses and their families.

Mission: NAMI Minnesota’s mission is to champion justice, dignity, and respect for all Minnesotans affected by mental illness. Through education, advocacy and support, NAMI Minnesota pursues its goals to eliminate the pervasive stigma of mental illness, effect positive changes in the mental health system, and increase the public and professional understanding of mental illness.

NAMI MINNESOTA’S MISSION IS TO CHAMPION JUSTICE, DIGNITY, ANDRESPECT FOR ALL PEOPLE AFFECTED BY MENTAL ILLNESS (BIOLOGICAL BRAIN DISORDERS). THROUGH EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, AND SUPPORT, WE STRIVE TO ELIMINATE THE PERVASIVE STIGMA OF MENTAL ILLNESS, EFFECT POSITIVE CHANGES IN THE MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM, AND INCREASE THE PUBLIC AND PROFESSIONAL UNDERSTANDING OF MENTAL ILLNESS.

“The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.” -ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY

NAMI Minnesota’s Tree of Hope was planted at the 2010 NAMIWalks. Walking for the people we love and for the cause that draws us together, we shared messages of hope to honor loved ones and to tell our personal stories. Like the leaves of a tree reaching toward the sky, we walked to build energy —each of us doing our part to further our mission.

Much like the growth of a tree, 2011 was about deepening our roots, broadening our reach and bringing new programs to life. NAMI continued to build upon its core mission to provide education, support and advocacy for children and adults with mental illnesses and their families. We ended 2011 on a high note by exceeding all the benchmarks set for this year. We added more classes and workshops, we increased our reach statewide, we forged new collaborations and implemented exciting new ways to reach out and reduce the stigma surrounding mental illnesses.

EXPANDING EDUCATION“The class was a lifeline to me. It gave me hope and empathy.” – A CLASS PARTICIPANT.

The burden placed on people who live with a mental illness and their families is great. They are seemingly cornered in a world that does not understand them, a health care system that does not treat them with respect, public funding that is limited compared to the numbers affected, and a community that does not support them.

Education is at the core of NAMI’s mission. NAMI works to educate families, professionals and the general public about mental illnesses to increase understanding and break down the wall of stigma that surrounds it. In 2011, NAMI Minnesota reached thousands of individuals by sponsoring free workshops in nearly every region of the state.

Educating FamiliesFamilies and loved ones who care for someone with a serious mental illness face great stress which can have an impact on their own well-being. NAMI’s classes offer coping strategies, current information, support and hope. Classes include Family-to-Family, Hope for Recovery, Family Connections, Children’s Challenging Behaviors, What Works What Helps, Mental Health Crisis Planning for Families, and more. We recently revised our Children’s Challenging Behaviors curriculum to include the impact of trauma and historical racism for the American Indian and African American communities and provided our Hope for Recovery class in Spanish.

Educating ProfessionalsKnowing that professionals have an impact on how children and adults and their families are treated, NAMI provides classes for professionals, including Mental Health First Aid and special trainings for jail staff, teachers, mental health professionals, hospital staff, children’s residential staff and others. New this year is the Emergency Department Means Restriction Education Program.

Educating the Public NAMI held its annual research dinner with the University of Minnesota to showcase the results of new research and progress being made toward a greater scientific understanding of mental illnesses. The event featured four of Minnesota’s leading psychiatric researchers and special guest Judith Werner, journalist and author of “We’ve Got Issues – Children and Parents In the Age of Medication.” The Beyond the Baby Blues conference, featured keynote speaker JoAnne Solchaney, Ph.D., ARNP who spoke about the cutting edge issues in mental health and the perinatal period. The NAMI annual state conference featured keynote speaker Andrew Sperling, NAMI’s National Director of Federal Legislative Advocacy

New in Education

NAMI Minnesota launched three new educational programs in 2011•MeansRestrictionTraining: This course, funded by the Minnesota Department of Health, provides much needed training for medical professionals, crisis responders, and mental health center staff to learn how to educate families on the importance of restricting access to lethal means when a child is at risk of suicide.

•FamilyConnections–BorderlinePersonalityClass: This course for family members who have a loved one with Borderline Personality Disorder provides the most current information on Borderline Personality Disorder, teaches coping skills based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and helps families develop a support network.

•CompassioninAction: Recognizing and Responding to Patients with Mental Illnesses: This is an online learning program for hospital staff and health care personnel funded by the Wasie Foundation. It’s designed to ensure people with mental illnesses receive appropriate medical treatment by building empathy towards people living with mental illnesses.

MEANS RESTRICTION REDUCES RISK IN A CONCRETE WAY

“Every time I give out a lock I quietly thank NAMI. It’s something directly related to their efforts — we have gunlocks thanks to NAMI.”– Susan Burns (Social Worker, Child Crisis, Fairview Riverside Hospital)

Susan Burns, Senior Psychiatric Social Worker for Hennepin County Child Crisis, participated in NAMI Minnesota’s new Means Restriction training and says she has instituted the Means Restriction approach with nearly every family with whom she works.

“The purpose is very simple – to reduce risk of suicide and self-harm, and to empower parents to do everything they can to reduce access to lethal means,” says Burns. She continues “In the world of mental health issues with teenagers there’s so much that falls outside of the realm of control of families. Means Restriction is one of the concrete steps parents can take to keep kids safe from additional suicide attempts or self-injurious behaviors.”

In addition to outlining plans for problem solving and critical follow-up calls and support, learning how to problem solve with families through the Means Restriction program, NAMI Minnesota gives medical professionals tools to keep guns or excessive amounts of medication away from individuals at risk of suicide or self-harm by providing gun locks and lock boxes at no charge. “Every time I give out a lock I quietly thank NAMI. It’s something directly related to their efforts – we have gunlocks thanks to NAMI,” Burns says.

The Means Restriction program is an important new way NAMI provides solutions to the challenges faced by children with mental illnesses, and the people supporting them.

DEEPENING SUPPORT“NAMI gave me hope when I had no hope.”

NAMIoffered49ongoingpeer-to-peersupportgroupsacrossthestateforfamilymembers,adultslivingwith a mental illness, parents of children, spouses/partners, veterans and LGBTQ-identified people. NAMI fielded more than 4,000 calls to our helpline from people seeking advice and resources.

NAMIVolunteer—TraceyNewmanTracey Newman is an active member and volunteer of NAMI Minnesota, serving on the Criminal Justice Committee, African American Advisory Board, and Sharing Hope Program Committee, and facilitating a support group for parents with children with mental illnesses.

Newman’s son lives with a mental illness and as she learned to navigate the mental health system on her own, she found that the stigma surrounding mental illness was sometimes as challenging as the diagnosis and the search for help.

“We must do everything within our power to remove the stigma associated with mental illnesses so that families who feel hopeless and isolated will seek out the resources available to their loved ones.” Newman says.

“We must do everything within our power to remove the stigma associated with mental illness so that families who feel hopeless and isolated will seek out the resources available to their loved ones.” – Tracey Newman, NAMI Minnesota Volunteer

OneoftheresourcesshefoundinhersearchwasNAMIMinnesota.Newmanwasinspiredtogetinvolved to help other people by letting them know they’re not alone, and to empower them with the knowledge so they can better understand their loved one.

“People who live with mental illness are just like people who live with diabetes or cancer. They’re people, and they have feelings, and they need to be given the chance to live successful lives,” says Newman.

“It’s important that our family members and friends know that for every step they take, they’re not alone. We’re walking beside them,” she continued.

Facilitating peer support groups for parents and building networks for individuals to advocate for themselves and their loved ones is a critical element of NAMI’s efforts to reduce stigma and connect individuals living with a mental illness and their families with others .

“The ideal outcome of the Anti-Stigma Project would be that I never hear derogatory comments about people with mental illness -- that they’re seen as survivors, and they’re treated as having a medical illness.” - Wendy Waddell, Director, Regions Hospital

NewinAdvocacyandPublicAwareness

•HospitalAnti-StigmaProject: This program, funded by HealthPartners and launched in conjunction with Regions Hospital and the East Metro Round Table, promotes respect, support, hope, information sharing and recovery for patients seeking mental health care in hospitals. The program provides signage and materials, offers patient, family and staff education, and connects patients and families with resources and other efforts.• InOurOwnVoice: This is a public education program in which people living with mental illnesses share personal stories about their struggles and recovery.•SocialMedia: NAMI Minnesota took advantage of social media like Twitter and Facebook for the first time, expanding our reach to new audiences and participating in local, regional and national conversations about mental health public policy. •LegislativeAction:The 2011 legislative session was the most difficult in recent history. Faced with a large budget deficit and no increase in revenues, NAMI members worked hard to limit the cuts to the mental health system and to programs used by children and adults with mental illnesses. NAMI members came to the capitol every week to educate legislators about the programs and the impact of proposed cuts. The first week in May, which is mental health month, featured an event every day to raise awareness about the cuts.

BROADENING ADVOCACY & PUBLIC AWARENESS

“NAMI’s staff and members are an essential and effective voice for better understanding and support for improved services. Truth is: their tireless efforts to build effective alliances and grassroots advocacy saves funding and lives.” – Ron Brand, Executive Director, MN Association of Community Mental Health Programs, Inc.

Stigmaiseverywhere.Inournewspaperswhereweonlyreadstoriesofviolenceandmentalillness.Onour televisions where people with mental illnesses are ten times more likely to be portrayed as violent. And even in the very programs that treat mental illnesses.

Creating change is about changing laws but it is also about changing attitudes. NAMI finds creative ways to engage the public about mental illnesses in an effort to portray positive messages and end the stigma associated with it. NAMI Minnesota works to change the attitudes of policy makers on mental illnesses, effectiveness of programs and unmet needs and works to help people working in the mental health system to understand recovery and the importance of relationships.

NAMI Minnesota walks the talk. Minnesotans came from every corner of the state to raise awareness and participate in NAMIWalks, our largest anti-stigma event of year. A record number of attendees rallied at the State Capitol for Day on the Hill to protect funding for crisis services, supportive housing, personal care attendants, school-linked mental health services and more. In an effort to reduce stigma and increase understanding about mental illnesses, NAMI staff and volunteers doubled their attendance at presentations for workplaces and major conferences throughout Minnesota. NAMI was present at all major mental health conferences, jail resource fairs, health fairs and the Minnesota State Fair. NAMI’s use of social media increased and it doubled the number of new visitors to our social media outlets and website.

FIVE YEARS OF GROWTH: AN UPDATE ON OUR STRATEGIC PLAN

“Hope is not a dream, but a way of making dreams become reality.” – James Womack, author

In2007thepeopleofNAMIMinnesotaenvisionedafuturewhereNAMIMinnesotawouldbethedriving force to provide leadership for change for Minnesotans with mental illnesses throughout the first decade of the 21st century. We dared to dream as we developed our Five-year Strategic Plan, establishing broad strategies for the future.

The strategic goals included educating individuals with mental illness; educating families and the general public about mental illness; reducing stigma; strengthening our affiliates; establishing a statewide presence; building on public policy momentum to increase mental health care funding and access to quality mental health services; and increasing funding to support NAMI’s mission while building a strong network of staff and volunteers.

We set some aggressive goals, and we’re proud to say that our dreams have come true. We’ve accomplished all we set out to do and more.

Each year an increasing number of individuals, families and professionals turn to NAMI Minnesota for education and support, and to make positive changes in the mental health system.

BranchingOutintotheFuture

We have come along way in only five years and now it is time to look to the future. We are seeking input from the NAMI community to obtain their feedback to help inform our work for the next five years.

In addition to new initiatives we will continue to deepen our roots and broaden the reach of our core mission. Every day we will work to ensure that children and adults with mental illnesses are treated with dignity, live full rich lives in our communities and have hope for the future.

IN OUR OWN VOICEWhen Tani Hemmila learned about the In Our Own Voice program, she was enthusiastic about its potential for educating others. She was also fearful that breaking an unwritten “code of silence and stigma” by revealing her own mental health experiences could damage her reputation and job possibilities. “That’s when I realized how much self-stigma had affected me, and I felt I needed to challenge that,” Hemmila says. She speaks because she wants people to know they’re not alone. “I’m really moved by seeing how many people are affected by mental illnesses, either themselves or in families,” states Hemmila, “and people connect to the presentations. It’s not often that people hear about getting better and living in wellness, even though most of us do.” Hemmila cites stigma as a significant obstacle saying “There are a lot of us in the world who have mental health struggles - it’s just a thing we deal with. Stigma is often worse than the diagnosis itself.” She hopes that efforts like IOOV will help eliminate stigma, and allow more people to understand that mental illnesses aren’t something to be ashamed of. By speaking she hopes to make more people “aware that recovery is a reality. That’s still a key part – letting people know that recovery is possible and we don’t have to be defined by an illness.”

“Recovery is a reality…recovery is possible…we don’t have to be defined by our illnesses.” – Tani Hemmila, In Our Own Voices speaker

NAMI Minnesota proudly supports strong advocates like Tani Hemmila who speak publicly about living successfully with a mental illness to eliminate stigma and give hope to individuals with mental illnesses and their families.
