Understanding and Supporting Mental Health

PBM Breakfast, May 10, 8:30am (new time)

At our Prepared by Men’s Breakfast this Saturday, we welcome Betty Sisneros Shover, the Executive Director of NAMI Santa Fe and a NAMI trained facilitator in several family education and support programs. Come to breakfast in Pope Hall at 8:30 and hear her valuable insights on understanding and supporting mental health.

Betty first became involved in the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in 2005, first in Denver and then in Santa Fe, when a family member was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and her family needed support and education to cope. Because her family benefitted so greatly from NAMI’s support, she has since dedicated herself to building better lives for anyone affected by mental illness.

All are welcome. The breakfast crew will be led by John Whitcomb. We do ask a suggested $2 or more donation to cover the cost of food and beverages. Text Jim at 505-557-8110 or email jimelliott5247@gmail.com with your email address to be put on the monthly Evite reminders to which you can do a formal RSVP if not already on the list. Also text Jim if you might want to participate as back-up/assistant chef, bottle washer, or buss-boy for Prepared by Men’s Breakfast, or if you have a program suggestion. Alternately, Wally at bettesw@gmail.com or 214-893-7211 with your suggestions or participation offerings.
