Education: Family-to-Family and NAMI Basics

All education and support programs offered by NAMI Tallahassee are free to the public and follow NAMI national guidelines. They are facilitated and taught by certified trained individuals.NAMI drew on course elements which have been extensively tested and found to be highly effective in the field. These elements include recognition of mental illness as a traumatic event for the individual and the family; sensitivity to the subjective emotional issues faced by the family as a whole; gaining confidence and stamina for what can be a life-long role; and empowerment to be effective advocates.Family-to-Family: A 12-week course designed for family, partners and friends of individuals with mental illness. The program educates attendees on the illnesses and assists them in providing support, coping and problem solving skills.Basics: A 6-week peer-led educational program for parents and caregivers of children and adolescents with a mental illness. The course is facilitated by trained parents or caregivers of individuals who developed mental illness symptoms prior to the age of 13.

Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) provide a police based response to persons experiencing a mental health emergency. CIT certified officers complete an intensive 40-hour training program that includes signs and symptoms of mental illnesses, information about community mental health resources and specific deescalation techniques for managing calls involving persons with a mental illness. The training as well as the deployment of teams in Leon County is based on a nationally recognized and evidence based model of crisis intervention commonly referred to as the "Memphis Model" of CIT. NAMI partners for CIT training are the Tallahassee Police Department and Leon County Office of Court Administration. CIT training is an ongoing program and is available to all law enforcement agencies in the Big Bend Area. Nine agencies from Leon, Gadsden, and Wakulla Counties are regular participants in CIT training. The program is offered two and sometimes three times per year.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
