Family Support Foundation for Mental Illness to Host Event Benefitting NAMI-Montana and the Meghann Eckerdt Family
Billings, MT – October 2008 – Mental illness is a disease that does not discriminate based on age, race, religion or income. Defined as a medical condition that disrupts a person’s thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others and daily functioning, mental illness affects one in four adults in America. Although treatable, less than one-third of adults and half of children with a diagnosable mental disorder receive any mental health services in a given year. Cellular One, in conjunction with the Family Support Foundation for Mental Illness, has chosen to support through fundraising and awareness the Montana chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and the Meghann Eckerdt Family.
