Hello everyone, I am the original creator of this page. Although not as involved in NAMI as I once was, I am very happy to see the page is alive and well, and being used to help those who have loved ones struggling with mental heath issues. My family still struggles, but we have managed to paddle through the storms.

Recently, I started a new YouTube page called “The Code Purple Project”. It presents various mental health related topics. For instance, we just released. New video on Anosognosia. We are looking for your recommendations of topics. Please feel free to comment your suggestions below. Also, if you have any issues with any of the content, please let me know. Our goal is to increase the visibility of the channel and increase its reach, so folks have a better understanding of what the mental illness struggle is all about.

I will post the link to the channel in the comments below. Your support by subscribing to the channel is much appreciated. Stay strong and peace to you, Ray Maternick.
