Happy Friday from #NAMICon2023! Amanda and Courtney were able to meet Dr. Ken Duckworth, author of "You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health." Check out a copy of this book and other similar books in our lending library at our office!
How fortunate you were able to connect with Dr. Duckworth! Loved his presentation at the Wood Co. NAMI Conference. Could have listened to him for hours!
