Student work prepared for PR writing and media class at VCU

To the editor:
“One in five adults experienced mental illness last year,” according to NAMI.org. Each year the month of May is recognized as National Mental Health Awareness Month. The National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI) is a non-profit organization interested in helping the lives U.S. residents that have been affected by mental illnesses. They do so by advocating, educating, supporting, and raising awareness. NAMI’s overall goal is to facilitate an environment that affected people feel supported and willing to seek help in. Please, do not let yourself or someone you know suffer in silence. Get help and learn more at NAMI.org.
Sincerely,
Lindsey Daniels, long-time volunteer and survivor of mental illness
