Action

Dear Fellow Nurses,
Just to update you on the happenings in WS - Mental Health Association.
I have been asked to participate in the local board of the MHA - our District 3  has agreed to make mental health issues it's primary focus. They are beginning to write letters for parity and have agreed to volunteer. Val and I met with the MHA and we will present a list of opportunities for volunteering at tonights meeting. I applied for a special projects funding to have a professional mental health series and try to use a program from the National Center for Empowerment. It is a similation program for people who hear voices. It is rated very high. Any input would be helpful.

I would like to see us create a referundum for the conference on mental health issues, any ideas would be helpful.

I continue my work with the Tourette Syndrome Association and did a fundraiser, I have some DVD's ready for distribution but I want to ensure these are going into hands that will access and use. Victoria gave me several nurses, which I contacted, but have not heard back from either of them. If you know a school nurse, or someone who treats Tourette's - or if you know someone with Tourette's and would like to see the DVD's in your school - Call or email me.
Thanks
