Reducing Stigma for American Military Personnel

NAMI Launches Veterans Resource Center On Mental Health; Online

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has established an online Veterans Resource Center http://www.nami.org/veterans to help support active duty military personnel, veterans and their families facing serious mental illnesses such as depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and schizophrenia.

"We are a nation at war," said NAMI executive director Michael J. Fitzpatrick. "The war includes mental illness. Many veterans who return from active duty face a second war at home, confronting profound mental health problems. Their families also are affected."
