NAMI Urban Los Angeles invites you to join life artist, Beverly Heath for a fun and meaningful workshop where you will learn to create an altar.  The altar workshop is designed  for healing and to help you discover the “Inner Artist” in you. 

Beverly will introduce you to basic how-to information that you will need to start creating your own personal Altar, a sacred space for healing. 

Beverly will be using boxes, dolls, pictures, and found objects. You are invited to bring any of these materials or any other commonplace objects that might inspire. 
The six-week altar-making workshop tales place on six consecutive Saturdays beginning March 15, 2008.  The Altars will be viewed as part on an Altar Art Exhibit.  This exhibit will transform everyday struggles and joys into healing experiences for both artists and audience.

Building Community, Taking Action

Since 1990, mental health advocates across the country have joined together during the first week of October to celebrate Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW).

What is Mental Illness Awareness Week?

Established in 1990 by Congress, the first week of October is designated as "Mental Illness Awareness Week" (MIAW) in recognition of NAMI’s efforts to raise mental illness awareness.  "Bipolar Disorder Awareness Day" (BDAD) is held each year on the Thursday of MIAW to encourage further understanding and promote early intervention and treatment for this mental illness.
