Charity Spotlight: NAMI

Mental illness is a serious medical illness that affects over 57 million Americans ? about one in four people ? yet there is still a real stigma associated with it. This stigma can create an environment where people do not seek help. In fact, only one-third of Americans living with mental illness receive treatment. Mike Fitzpatrick, Executive Director of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), joined Jerry Franz, host of Health Matters at Work? podcast series, to talk about what NAMI is doing to educate, serve and advocate for people impacted by mental illness.
