Services for families of Missourians with mental illnesses face budget cuts

NAMI Missouri, which provides family support groups and peer-led courses for Missourians with mental illnesses, faces potential budget cuts from Gov. Mike Kehoe. The state budget passed by lawmakers restored some funding but omitted support for a help-line, parent support groups, and training sessions. The organization has offered these services for two decades under a contract with the Missouri Department of Mental Health.
