The Voice

Dear Fellow NAMI Members,

I can’t believe this is already my 4th NAMIWalks

PBC. Every year the attendance grows and the community

becomes more involved. It’s especially encouraging to see

younger people attending the walk. We are helping to

defeat the stigma and it starts with the younger generations.

I am very hopeful we will raise more money and have more

attendees this year.

This year has been my first full year on the Board of

Directors for NAMI. When I first joined NAMI I didn’t really

know what the organization did. I knew they helped

support mental health awareness in the community but

where did our donations go? Attending our monthly

director meetings has opened my eyes to all the great

programs we offer to the community for free. Marsha, our

Executive Director, has done a great job aligning our

programs with the needs of the community. One of our

biggest and most effective programs is the NAMI Mentoring

Program. NAMI has mentors that work with individuals who

have mental health conditions. Often these individuals,

when released from the hospital, are given a follow-up plan

to check in with a doctor and to continue treatment.

However, for various reasons, they fall through the cracks

and don’t follow through on their treatment plan. Our

mentors support them through their mental health journey

by reaching out, connecting, and encouraging. This is an

example of where our donations go and how NAMI helps

those with mental illness get treatment.

It is programs like mentoring that make a difference in the mental health community. As a result I want to help you raise as much money possible for the walk. Below are a few suggestions.

1. Sign up your team/page today. Any early start is key

to getting people involved. It will take you multiple

times to get people to login and donate.

www.namiwalks.org/palmbeachcounty

2. If possible, design a team/page with a purpose. Do

you or a loved one struggle with mental illness? Have

you lost anyone to mental illness? Is there a particular

561-588-3477 www.namipbc.org

NAMI program (mentoring, Peer-to-Peer, Family-to-

Family, Ending the Silence) that you’re passionate

about? A specific purpose and story that others can

relate to will really help with people signing up and

donating.

3. Add pictures to your team page. My page is in memory

of my sister. Adding pictures of her with family and

friends draws them in and brings back memories.

4. Once your page is setup, the key is to get as many

people to donate as possible. Go through your emails

and create a list of potential donors. Upload that to

your team page and send out a donation email once a

week until the walk.

5. Post your team page on social media, Facebook, Twitter,

Instagram, etc. Post your page every week until the

walk. People will procrastinate in donating so you’ve

got to keep hitting them.

6. Look into getting your office, gym, religious

organization, sports team, book club etc. involved.

Last year we had someone in my office take their life.

NAMIWalks was a perfect opportunity to bring the

office together and walk in the employee’s honor. The

office also became a sponsor for the walk as well.

7. Look to get other friends to setup teams. Everyone has

family or friends with someone who has a mental

illness. Get them to setup a team and join the walk.

They want to find ways to give back and help those in

need. Sometimes they just need a push or don’t even

know about NAMI and what we do. The walk is the

perfect place to start.

I hope this helps and motivates some of you to get

started and setup your team. Please don’t hesitate to

reach out with any questions.

An Interview with Nyna Giles

NAMI PBC recently interviewed author Nyna Giles, keynote speaker for the NAMI Annual Luncheon. Nyna is

the author of The Bridesmaid’s Daughter: From Grace Kelly’s Wedding to a Women’s Shelter.

NAMI: Nyna, your book explores the life of your mother, Carolyn Scott, from her childhood throughout her

career, as Grace Kelly’s friend and bridesmaid, then as a housewife and mother, and later living in a women’s

shelter. Why did you decide to write a book about your mother?

NG: For me, it was all about finding the right co-author. I had always wanted to tell my mother’s story, believing that her story could shine a light for others. My co-author, Eve Claxton gave me the courage and was the best collaborator, writer and friend with whom anyone could hope to work. NAMI: What is your favorite memory or story of your mother? NG: Going to the Nutcracker Ballet at Lincoln Center as a young girl. I will be going this season sitting very close to where my mother and I sat all those years ago, recreating and sharing a special memory of mine with my youngest daughter, Dani. NAMI: Your mother was a popular model. Do you feel that you inherited any of her sense of style? NG: I hope so. My favorite looks are those that would be described as classic, elegant, tailored, with pearls. I love any styles reminiscent of the 1950s, my mother’s era as a Ford model. NAMI: If you had to pick one photo from your mother’s career, which would be your favorite? NG: Without question, her headshot, taken by an Australian photographer, Henry Talbot. It was the only modeling photo framed in our house when I was growing up. NAMI: You had to do a lot of research and have spoken to experts about your mother’s condition. How did it feel to learn she probably experienced postpartum psychosis? Were you relieved to have a name to go along with her symptoms? NG: Yes, because it’s when all of the puzzle pieces in her life fit. I always knew that she looked different in photos after I was born, but I had no understanding of perinatal mental health disorders. She had all of the risk factors: her traumatic childhood, my traumatic birth, and being isolated and far from friends and family who would have noticed changes in her behavior. NAMI: Can you describe the characteristics of postpartum psychosis? NG: Women with postpartum psychosis can experience depression, mania, confusion, paranoia and delusions. It is a severe psychiatric condition that can set in during the first months after a mother gives birth to a child and is even more serious than the more common postpartum depression. The condition is diagnosable and treatable, and every pregnant woman should be monitored for this during and after the pregnancy. NAMI: Was psychiatry available to your mother? NG: My mother knew something was wrong after my birth, and started seeing a psychiatrist. When my father found out, he refused to pay for her treatment, insisting that she see a psychiatrist of his own choosing, which she never did.

NAMI: Your mother lived in a women’s shelter in her later years; how did this come to be, and what do you think it was about the shelter that made her feel comfortable? NG: In 1985, she was taken to King’s County Psychiatric Center because she seemed to be having a psychotic episode. From there she was sent to a shelter for women 55 and older with a diagnosis of mental illness in the Park Avenue Armory. It was easier for her to feel anonymous in a room of 100 women, than to live with a roommate. The shelter was close to the Barbizon and the Manhattan House, the places in her past where she was happiest. NAMI: How did you first get involved in NAMI? NG: I took the NAMI Family-to-Family course 18 years ago, which was the first time I could talk openly about my mother’s mental illness, sitting in a room with other families. That same year, I attended my first National NAMI Convention. I still have a book that I bought there, My Parent’s Keeper: Adult Children of the Emotionally Disturbed by Eva Marian Brown. It was a real eye-opener for me. NAMI: In your opinion, what changes should be made in the way services are provided to people with serious mental illness? NG: My mother was sick in her mind, not able to take care of herself and not able to make good decisions. She did not know she was ill and did not want treatment. The mental health laws prevent family members and doctors from treating people like my mother. By doing so, the mental health laws are not helping people, and they are not protecting society. The legal standard that determines if people get treatment is “dangerousness to self or others.” It should be “need for treatment due to incapacity.” NAMI: What advice do you have for other families who have a loved one who refuses treatment? NG: I highly recommend Xavier Amador’s book, I Am Not Sick, I Don’t Need Help. Listen, Emphasize, Agree, and Partner. NAMI: After writing a book about your experience what have you gained? NG: It’s hard to break through the shame of having a mother who has mental illness, of never going to elementary school, and later of having a mother who lived in a shelter. The process has allowed me to no longer feel ashamed; I am more comfortable in my own skin now, more confident and happier than ever before. NAMI: What did you find most challenging about writing this book? NG: Writing my book has been very painful at times as I relived my mother’s sadness and my lost childhood. Like ripping a band-aid off, again and again. I make a conscious effort to be kind to myself and to pay attention to my own wellbeing and self-care when revisiting the past gets too overwhelming. Balance is so important. NAMI: What advice would you give to others who want to share their journey by writing a book? NG: For anyone out there thinking of sharing their story, I can tell you that I have been met with kindness every step of the way. I no longer feel alone. The experience has helped me become the best me I can be. We look forward to learning more about Nyna’s amazing journey at the upcoming NAMI Annual Luncheon on December 12, 2019, at the Marriot West Palm Beach.

Families with children and other dependents with special needs, no matter what the age or disability, face many serious questions about how to best prepare for their future well-being. This workshop addresses such critical issues as protecting government benefit eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid, creating Special Needs Trusts, the importance of a Will, Guardianship, Financial Strategies and considering a Letter of Intent. The workshop will also address the ABLE Accounts, which are tax-advantaged savings accounts for qualified individuals with disabilities and their families. Taking steps now can help arrange for a loved one’s well-being today and tomorrow.

From Our Members

NAMI PBC volunteer, Luz Resto is an avid painter and brings her experience to the NAMI on Wednesday Drop-In Center.

She recently shared how art has been therapeutic for her on the Facebook page, ARTresto. See the excerpt below.

I’m not ashamed to share the fact that in recent months I have been dealing with the torment of depression and anxiety.

It’s as if the off button in my head controlling negative thoughts is no longer functioning. I feel trapped within myself…in a small,

sad, dark space. But I choose to rise each day and make the best of it and painting has been an amazing therapy. Only a handful of

people know that at age 13 I had a piece of artwork displayed in the Guggenheim museum. Since then, I’d painted occasionally

but with no real commitment or consistency, until now.

In my long history of depression and anxiety I have learned not to trust my thoughts. So when the only thing that feels

right is to lay in bed and cry, I get up (or crawl) and I grab a paint brush. In those moments of uncertainty and insecurity, bleakness

and despondency, painting is the meditation I need to remind me of my worth and my place in this world. The despair that

sometimes feels like it will consume me gets washed away with the vibrancy of a yellow stoke and the hues of blues and purples

calm me. Most of the time I have no plan. I just paint, being lead by how I feel or want to feel or the music coming in from the next

room. Sometimes the end product, after many hours of work and love, simply ends up as a mess on canvas - but it’s okay. I simply

learn from it or begin again or move on to something altogether new. It’s just like

life…

At first, I painted with the hope that someone else would see its beauty

and I’d feel deep disappointment when they didn’t; now I paint to impress myself,

to heal the wounds within. I paint for the freedom of it. I can be any and all versions

of me with no judgment or shame. The lessons to be learned go beyond color

combinations and brush strokes—it’s facing the uncertainty and intimidation of a

larger canvas—learning that I am the one that holds the brush and that the larger

canvas is an opportunity to experience the fullness of my power and potential.

Although difficult, I am grateful for the darkness and the pain, for it only deepens

my appreciation for the light and the joy.

A special thank you to my husband who is always there to remind me that

the dark clouds won’t hover forever and always there to remind me of just how

amazing I am when I forget.

Sending love to all,

Luz

The Gift

The setting sun between

the peaks of the mountains,

will never touch the beauty

inside of thee.

The strength you give to others

is the strength you give to me.

Please don’t ever stop giving,

For that is your specialty.

IN A CRISIS

Mobile Crisis: Mobile Crisis provides emergency intervention, de-escalation, screening and assessment for individuals

who are in emotional distress. As a family member or close friend, you can call Mobile Crisis and discuss the situation

with them. They will help to determine the best course of action. It may involve them going to the individual’s home

to assess the situation. Based on the assessment, they may recommend community treatment, or they can arrange to

have the individual hospitalized. Mobile Crisis services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Palm Beach County has three Mobile Crisis Units:

Jerome Golden Mobile Crisis (northern part of county): 561-383-5777

South County Mobile Crisis: 561-637-2102; (Glades area): 561-382-3555

Calling 911: If you find that the situation has escalated to a point of crisis, call 911, describe your situation and ask for

a CIT-trained officer. The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) completes a week-long training developed nationally by NAMI

and the police to improve responses to people in crisis. Many local officers have participated in this training.

Questions / Need Resources? When you are looking for support finding resources, or to develop a crisis contingency plan, you can call NAMI PBC’s

Certified Recovery Peer Specialist (Family Support), Sue Gordon at 561-588-3477. Sue is available during regular
