NAMI Metro Baltimore Launches New Hub at Christian Temple

November 2, 2016 by Caitlin Mulrine

christian-temple-launch-program

This fall, NAMI Metropolitan Baltimore launched a new mental health education and wellness initiative in partnership with Christian Temple. Christian Temple, will serve as a “hub” for NAMI’s evidence-based Signature education and support programs in the Catonsville area.

The new initiative formally launched on Sunday, October 23rd with a program introducing NAMI’s supportive resources. NAMI Metro Baltimore volunteers shared personal reflections on the impact of mental illness with members of Christian Temple and the greater Catonsville community.

The programming schedule at the hub will be driven by community-identified needs and interests. Upcoming programs will include NAMI’s In Our Own Voice presentations, information sessions, and NAMI’s education programs for peers and families. NAMI Peer-to-Peer, a program for individuals living with a mental illness, and NAMI Basics, a course serving parents of a child or teen, are currently registering to begin this winter.

In addition to education and support programs, Christian Temple will house a drop-in resource library. Community members can find mental illness fact sheets, health-related books, videos, and DVDs, and other community behavioral health resources at the library.

NAMI’s programs provide life-saving information and support to the 1 in 5 people affected by mental illness. All programs are available at no cost to participants. See the schedule and registration details for upcoming programs:
