Message from the President
"As past president, I was proud to serve on the board of Empire Mental Health Support serving people who either live with a mental illness or are family members who care about someone with a mental health diagnosis. Even though I'm no longer president, I still believe in their mission to be an active voice in the Empire Area for support, education, and advocacy while also fighting for equality and erasing the misperceptions of mental health disorders. Until this position is filled, I hope you will join them in each step of their endeavors to become a welcome pillar in your community. Thank you for choosing Empire Mental Health Support!"
