Why We Sponsor NAMIWalks Westchester
May 21st, 2020
We applaud the work of NAMI Westchester, as our work at Littman Krooks LLP is aligned to their mission in helping individuals with mental health concerns.
Here are some of the reasons we sponsor NAMI Westchester’s annual walk:
- NAMI Westchester works to end the pervasive stigma that society perpetuates toward individuals with mental health disorders. Both NAMI Westchester and Littman Krooks believe that individuals who have mental health challenges can lead fulfilling lives. We work to help families ensure that their loved ones have the right legal protections, services and public benefits, educational and community services.
- Through their outreach programs, NAMI Westchester educates the community mental health and suicide prevention. I volunteer in the Ending the Silence program as I feel this work is critical in Westchester due to the alarming suicide rate.
- We applaud NAMI Westchester’s commitment to build a community of hope through their HelpLine, support groups and educatio
nal classes, which helps families create support systems. At Littman Krooks, we work to help families navigate services and to obtain appropriate public benefits, and we advocate for changes in legislation.
- The people who volunteer with NAMI Westchester are hopeful, bright and sensitive and we love being a partner and supporting this work. So many of these volunteers share their dedication on walk day that the feeling is truly inspirational.
Littman Krooks is honored to sponsor NAMIWalks Westchester and we look forward to working together this year and beyond, toward improving the quality of life for all individuals and families whose lives are affected by mental illness. I will be under the sponsor tent on walk day, and hope you will sponsor as well.
