According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, “One in 5 Americans is affected by mental health conditions. Stigma is toxic to their mental health because it creates an environment of shame, fear and silence that prevents many people from seeking help and treatment. The perception of mental illness won’t change unless we act to change it.”

Today, I spoke to Kevin Fischer, Executive Director the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Michigan, about faith leaders addressing mental illness as well as the efforts to remove the stigma associated with it. One of the ways is during the NAMI Walks across the country with one happening this weekend at Belle Isle. Get more information here: NAMIMI.org

Randi’s mom knew she was destined to be in some form of entertainment when even as a small child, she would pretend a pencil was a microphone and sing and charm family and friends. Later she would sing in church and college choirs. However, it wasn’t until she attended Specs Howard School of Media Arts, that Ms. Myles would find her true voice. Randi enjoys writing about the city of Detroit, faith, and the community.
