For the second year with WCCMHB funding, NAMI Northern Illinois will provide advocacy-driven case management services for those impacted by mental illness. These services are aimed at eliminating barriers, reducing confusion, increasing linkages with appropriate direct service, increasing individual, family, and community support, while also providing educational programming to improve the response to mental illness for all. This program aims to serve 255 Winnebago County residents using various evidence-based practices.
