News & Updates from NAMI Franklin County
 
I hope you are enjoying the season.  For us, this has been a season of gratitude!  Later this month, we will be participating in "Faith: The Protective Factor," a conference for faith leaders and service providers.  We are honored to be partnering with the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation on this important event. 

Our 30th Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner was a wonderful success!  Finally, we thank the friends and supporters who made the Columbus Foundation Big Give a Big success for NAMI Franklin County!

All the best,
