Your Voice for Mental Health

OUR MISSION Improving the quality of life for people

with mental illness and their families

VISION We seek to extend the education, support, and

advocacy programs of NAMI Massachusetts so that we will

reach out to all Massachusetts peers and their families; improve

the public’s awareness and understanding of mental illnesses;

and advocate at all levels to ensure that all people affected by

mental illnesses receive, in a timely fashion, the services that

they need and deserve.

VALUES Central to NAMI Massachusetts is a commitment

to programs that are both peer-driven and family-driven; to

the key concepts of recovery, resiliency, and support that are

essential to wellness and quality of life; and to full and

meaningful lives for all people.

Your Voice for Mental Health

Annual Report 2014 1

Dear Friends:

FY 2014 was a productive year! We hope you agree that our education and support programs, and our strong

advocacy, make us your voice for mental health. Please review this Annual Report to find out how we do it.

We’re excited to report on two new projects that began in 2014:

•OurResource/Helplineisexpandingdramaticallytoconnectfamilymembersandpeerstoservices

available statewide. We hear a constant refrain that services are limited and inadequate, which is a fact.

But it is also a fact that many services in Massachusetts, public and private, exist and are working well.

Typically, when a mental health crisis occurs, a family has no idea where to go for help. In too many cases,

the information offered is too general, outdated, and poorly thought through. NAMI Mass is addressing

these shortfalls by creating a state-of-the-art, accessible database, and a trained corps of staff and

volunteers, including peers and their families. Our launch is scheduled for early 2015.

•Ourveterans’programoffersNAMIConnection, a free weekly recovery support group for vets living

with mental illness. People learn from one another’s experiences, share coping strategies and offer mutual

encouragement and support. The groups provide an ongoing opportunity to discuss the challenges of

living with mental illness and techniques for maintaining wellness. Thanks to a generous grant from

Attorney General Martha Coakley, we were able to hire our own Veterans’ Outreach Coordinator. Now,

we offer NAMI Connection weekly support groups for vets in Somerville and Haverhill, with more to come.

In addition, the NAMI Massachusetts Criminal Justice Diversion Project continues to train police officers

all over the state to better handle mental health crises. During 2014 as well, an anonymous donor gave

NAMI Mass $50,000 to fund a new diversity outreach program, which is just underway. On the education

and support fronts, we presented more In Our Own Voice programs, more Family-to-Family programs, and

more Connection support groups than ever before.

Finally, your voice is being heard on Beacon Hill. Thanks to all the advocacy conducted by NAMI Mass

members across the Commonwealth, the final DMH budget for FY 2015 is $32.5 million more than it

was in FY 2014. But the total DMH budget of $736 million is still not enough! Community mental health

services and supports, and an adequate number of psychiatric beds are still lacking. Many NAMI members

know first-hand how hard it is to find these services, and many don’t exist. This is an area where NAMI

members need to remain fully engaged.

NAMI Mass hosted a very successful fundraiser last March, 2014. We were honored to have Senator

Elizabeth Warren join us to talk about the federal government’s view of mental health issues and why it is so

important for folks to speak to their elected officials when services are insufficient. It was a great event with

over 200 NAMI members and friends in attendance. And we raised over $80,000, which is a record non-Walk

fundraiser for NAMI Mass.

We want to thank our membership, volunteers, our allies in health care and law enforcement for your support

and compassion. And to all our donors — without you we would not be able to offer all these programs at no

cost to families and peers. Thank you for helping us make positive change in people’s lives.

Sincerely,

S. Stephen Rosenfeld Laurie Martinelli NAMI Mass, Board President Executive Director

NAMI Peer-to-Peer NAMI Peer-to-Peer (P2P) is a free 10-week recovery-focused

educational program for adults who wish to establish and

maintain wellness in response to mental health challenges.

Peer-to-Peer gives participants a varied selection of tools and

strategies designed to improve decision making skills, identify

and overcome triggers and recognize the impact of emotions

on actions. Great value is placed on the individual experiences

of each person in the class and participants are empowered

and invited to share their own stories, coping tools that they

have used, and to comment on the information provided.

This program also covers the logistics of getting services, legal

issues, hospitalizations, and crisis planning. The program uses

DBT techniques (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) which, for this

class, provided a whole new way of looking at their illness and

developing recovery techniques. The application of DBT to the

The Peer-to-Peer program was introduced to Massachusetts

12 Mentors (who teach P2P) and ran our first class in the

to address stigma in the community and to enrich

the audience’s understanding of how people cope

with serious mental illness.

Free support groups for peers in recovery — whatever their diagnosis — facilitated by

trained peers.

For the first time, we held a special training for Veterans to run Connection groups.

We have two groups running: Somerville and Haverhill. There are plans to expand

the program to Brockton and Bedford. We also plan to run a Connection training for

female Veterans so that we can help this specific group have a forum for support and

sharing group wisdom.

let’s give our officers the

department now takes a

systems-level approach

so we can connect people

1. Restore Funding to the Department of Mental Health:

Between 2009 and 2012, the Commonwealth cut over eight percent, or $55 million, from the DMH budget. Even with modest increases since then, Massachusetts ranks last among New England states in terms of mental health funding.

The FY2015 DMH budget appropriation was increased a whop-ping $32.1 million over last year to $736 million. In an unusual move, budget negotiators responded to mental health advocates collective requests and increased the bottom line even more during their deliberations. The final numbers actually surpassed the spending originally approved by the House and Senate.

2. Encourage Jail Diversion for People with Mental Illness:

Too many people with mental illness wind up in jail, even though the behavior that prompted a police response is

FY2015 Budget & NAMI Mass Successesindicative of a mental health crisis and not criminality. The practice has a significant human and economic cost.

Funding for accounts used to train municipal police were increased by a combined $2.3 million from current FY 2014 levels, to $6.8 million.

3. Specialty Courts:

The Commonwealth has 26 Specialty Courts, designed spe-cifically to handle cases involving people with mental illness, substance abuse and veterans’ issues. Funded through grants, these courts play a crucial role in helping address the under-lying problems that bring people to courts in the first place.

NAMI’s call to expand specialty courts was heard and as a result, eight new specialty courts will be created and funded with an ad-ditional $3 million in FY2015. These courts combine incarceration

with other forms of sentencing including rehab and counseling for offenders. Two of the new courts will specialize in cases involving military veterans and one court will specialize in cases involving youth offenders.

4. Reimbursement rates for MassHealth for hospitals that are closing psych units:

Demand for acute inpatient psychiatric care is high, but reimbursement rates are too low to support hospital inpatient psychiatric units. NAMI supports a significant and sustainable increase to MassHealth’s budget so hospitals can afford to provide inpatient psychiatric services within their communities. It is unfair and inhumane to force families to wait for days before they can find an inpatient bed for a loved one who is suffering. The FY 2015 $13 Million dollar increase was an excellent start and must grow to meet demand.

Over the years, the staff here in the state office has done its best to provide

as much information as possible to those who call or email us looking for

mental health resources, spanning a wide range of needs from treatment,

housing, and employment services to finding community legal help or

advice on navigating the criminal justice system.

In recognition of the Commonwealth’s need for a comprehensive

collection of local and statewide mental health resources, NAMI Mass

received an anonymous donation and a plea to expand and improve

our Resource Helpline. Since March 2014, we have been researching the

best practices in helplines nationwide, tracking down community-based

resources for the multi-faceted needs of people with mental health

diagnoses, and organizing that information into a state-of-the-art

database that will make finding local resources easier than ever before.

Advocacy DayOver 200 NAMI Mass stakeholders came to the State House on Monday, April 7, 2014 to attend our speaker program to hear State Attorney General Martha Coakley among others, obtain our latest position paper Way Behind: Report on the State of Mental Health in 2014, and visit their legislators to voice NAMI Mass mental health priorities.

NAMI’s Advocacy Day has

been an inspiration and an

education, giving me just the

tools I need to work with my

legislators not only that day,

but also throughout the year.

The fact sheets are invaluable,

as is the sense of community,

working together for this

profoundly important cause.”
