Everything you need to know about NAMI can be found here.

From the article "Board member Richard Lamb resigned...saying NAMI's dependence on drugmakers made some actions impossible, such as warning against the use of some mental health drugs with life-threatening side effects."

Buyer beware is always good advice for everyone in everything they do. It is also good that some watch for these types of things and point out problems so that proper weight can be considered in the whole picture of an organization going forward.

Keep in mind here that NAMI does not diagnose or prescribe medicines to consumers. That is done with the consumer and their choice of a licensed professional doctor.

Sometimes organizations find themselves going in the wrong direction and sometimes it takes extreme measures of some to help the organization in correcting its present course. I believe that is in some ways a good thing it show that their are people in position who will do the right thing when they feel passionate about an issue right or wrong.

The American Red Cross has had many issues in the past http://www.cbsnews.c...ain516700.shtml

Cedar Fair has had board member, company executives and share holder issues too. Does that mean everything they do is bad and that the whole system is corrupt and to be avoided at all cost. Well that would be up to each individual to look at those organizations and companies as a whole and decide for themselves if they want to associate or patronize them. Yes I may not like some aspects of the business but I still would recommend friends of mine to go to a Cedar Fair park for a day of entrainment and fun. Additionally i would encourage a friend to seek help with the Red Cross if they are experiencing a disaster in their life and for the police and fire departments to drink the beverages and eat the snacks the Red Cross provides for them when they are in action helping citizens. It is always good to be on guard and to look for wrong doing or misguided board members pandering to one of its contributors and when exposed put pressure where needed to force change.

NAMI does so much in helping educate and coming to the aids of consumers and their families in a myriad of ways. There are many local chapters in residing all across the country and yes they will have issues here and there but I know the good of the many in the organization speaks volume over they few who need to be corrected. I was not going to post this but knowing first hand some of the many services NAMI provides I would not want a person of need to over look an opportunity to get help, there is far to many issues for those who need help in the way now. Keep in mind consumer beware if it does not feel right find another resource, but do not give up.

Great post avatar. Every company/organization makes mistakes/has some bumps along the road. The thing to look at is whether they learn from it.
