NAMI McKeesport affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness will meet at 6 p.m. April 6 at Penn State Greater Allegheny in Room F122 of the Frable Building, a spokeswoman said.

The meeting is open to families and friends of loved ones living with mental illness.

Printed copies of the information presented in March by a Social Security Administration representative will be available. The information deals with qualifications necessary to apply for Social Security Disability benefits for those with medically diagnosed mental illness conditions.  A "care and share" session will follow for those in attendance.

Upon entering any Penn State property individuals are required to wear masks regardless of vaccination status and to comply with such rules and precautions while on the property.

NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.  We offer understanding and support unique to those who are affected by these conditions. NAMI McKeesport occasionally invites mental health professionals to speak about treatment and resources.

For more information about the McKeesport meeting call (412) 527-6600. For the NAMI Helpline call (412) 366-3788 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
