NAMI Northern Virginia shares information at the Fairfax County Re-Entry Council's Inmate Resource Fair, March 3, 2015

3/6/2015

 
On March 3rd, NAMI Northern Virginia was on hand to answers questions and share mental health resource information to two hundred inmates at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.  One of our peer mentors, a military veteran, provided encouragement, along with materials, to the many men and women who stopped by our table.

According to the Connection Newspaper,
34-year-old Demeterius Spann of Alexandria and 29-year-old Nydale Sheppard of Reston are ready for their chance, armed with information on what’s available to them.  “I’m very excited,” said Sheppard, “to see all the people here willing to help us get a fresh start.” Click here to read the full Connection Newspaper article.

NAMI Northern Virginia and Concerned Fairfax are members of the Fairfax County Re-Entry Council.  NAMI Northern Virginia co-chairs the Mental Health Subcommittee of the Re-Entry Council.   For more information and to get involved, visit NAMI Northern Virginia and  Concerned Fairfax.
