We are so pleased to present to you our friends at FERC, who will share their offerings for families across a multitude of services. Some years ago when the Mental Health Services Act became a reality, the Mental Health Association of Alameda County, under the leadership of Steve Bischoff, NAMI affiliate leaders and county leadership put forth the notion of a comprehensive family resource, with paid staff.
After a lot of work negotiating the system and the funding, FERC became a reality. And that reality includes a real office that is open daily with brochures, books, warm line, groups and staff that is trained to help. Our volunteer-based NAMI affiliates cannot operate nor provide services at that level.
So take a look at their website at https://ferc.org and join us in meeting their staff and learning more about the available services.
