In July of 2017, I was hired as a mental health advocate for Brown County. My first objective? Start a NAMI chapter. It was finally coming together. I spent July and August meeting people around the county that had a passion for mental health. I will always remember walking in our first steering group meeting to build a NAMI chapter in September. [Rachel] and I walked in at the same time. I remember giving her a shoulder hug and saying, “We are doing it.” At the first meeting, we each told our stories. My eyes glistened with tears, “Each of these people is passionate about mental health as I am. It’s a beginning.”
