« On the blogs: Levy ponders surgeons' report card Catch-22 | Main | ALS patient garners national award » Monday, July 16, 2007Mental illness group starts affiliate for LatinosBy Carey Goldberg, Globe Staff NAMI-MA, the Massachusetts chapter of the National Alliance of Mental Illness, is opening its first affiliate aimed specifically at Latino families, it announced today. Like other NAMI groups, NAMI-LATINO will help family members cope with the mental illness of their loved ones. But it will have a specifically Latino orientation, organizers say, trying to provide more support for Spanish-speaking families that might otherwise tend not to avail themselves of it. The group will focus on such issues as the family’s role in a member’s recovery and the ongoing stigma surrounding mental illness in Spanish-speaking communities, said Carmen Rivera, the new affiliate’s president, in a statement. The group meets at the South End Community Health Center at 1601 Washington St. in Boston. It is currently seeking more participants for its sessions, which are conducted in Spanish.
