Home » News and Events » Community News and Events » January is Mental Wellness Month

These days, families are very busy with work, school and activities. 

It’s important to stay healthy in body, mind and spirit. Sometimes we need to reach out to others for help in balancing our lives. If you are looking for mental health resources and referrals you could:

• Attend NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) family support groups and or attend meetings or classes.
• Stop by ENTERPRISE RESOURCE CENTER, a behavioral health drop-in center in San Rafael. Enterprise is a project of Mental Health Advocates of Marin.
• Visit Mental Health Resources: in English and en Español on the Matrix Parents at Marin CIL website.
