Local support available for families, friends affected by mental illness (Longview)

From the Longview News Journal

East Texas families that include members with brain disorders or mental illness may all too often feel they are alone in their quest to understand and deal with the challenges.

But Paula Hendrix says support, educational opportunities and information are available locally.
"There is help out there for people with mental illness and their families," said Hendrix, president of the National Alliance on Mental Health, Greater Longview chapter. The group is a nonprofit volunteer network of families and providers working to improve the quality of life for people affected by severe disorders, she said.
