One of the areas in which NAMI is proud to be involved in is advocacy – on the national, state, and local level.  NAMI Smarts for Advocacy is a training workshop that gets our volunteers ready to tell our stories to decision-makers and funders.

If you might be interested in getting involved with NAMI Tallahassee’s Advocacy Committee, please let us know.  Send us an email at admin@nami-tallahassee.org or leave a voicemail on the Help Line, 850-841-3386.

This is the time of year when plans are being made and issues are being discussed.  Let your voice be heard!

“Memory Lane” Honors Loved Ones Lost to Suicide

Continuing this year is Memory Lane. Display frames for Memory Lane at the Bluebird Run are ready to roll on over to JR Alford Greenway on Labor Day. Memory Lane was created in remembrance of those who have died by suicide and in recognition of the resilient survivors, friends and family who volunteer, run, and walk at the Bluebird event.

How do I participate?

• Prior to the event
Before to September 1, send in your photos of your loved ones lost to suicide, and we’ll add to one of the frames created for the event.  Email as a .jpg attachment to lossteam@nami-tallahassee.org

• At the event:
Or just bring your photos to the Bluebird Run on LABOR DAY, JR ALFORD GREENWAY, 8:00 A.M.  Event participants are encouraged to decorate the frames with photos of their loved ones and/or written words of encouragement, hope and healing to clothespin inside the frames. Paper decorations and other craft supplies will be available for you to use.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
