September is National Recovery Month. In honor of that, we’d like to recognize our regional organization, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, (NAMI).

NAMI Southeast Louisiana, serves 9 parishes. They provide advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives.

NAMI St. Tammany provides services to one of our critical specialty court programs, Behavioral Health Court (BHC). Many of the participants in BHC  attend NAMI’s Day Program, utilize NAMI’s Peer Support Specialists, perform service hours at NAMI’s Closet and many benefit from NAMI’s housing program. For more information on specialty courts, see https://collinsimsda.org/specialty-courts/.
