Serious Mental Illness AwarenessWeek
Serious Mental Illnesses impact families, communities, and all of us.
The first week of October is committed to increasing awareness of Serious Mental Illness. Grow a Strong Family supports the supporters who are affected by a loved one with a serious mental illness (SMI) now known as a serious brain disease (SBD). The commitment and courage that define the Supporters is unacknowledged and undermined by a system of care that consistently fails to provide relief for the individuals and their Supporters that would improve outcomes and reduce disasters. This week is an opportunity to enable Grow a Strong Family to increase its 24/7 web-based support for the Supporters so that they receive what they need when they need it for free. Thank you for participating in the auction and the other events we are offering!

Laughter is the best medicine
Let’s inject some humor into our lives by watching these funny comedians share their experiences and thoughts with us.
The Great Depresh
“Over the course of an hour and 15 minutes, “The Great Depresh” crackles with certain energy — a series of slow builds to these lightning strike moments. This skillful pacing and delivery, in combination with Gulman’s fresh, crushing, and contemporary material makes this special a must-watch.” salon.com
Streamed on Oct 2 from 7-9pm.
