Finding Hope in the Blue House: How NAMI North Texas Supports Mental Health Recovery
For nearly 40 years, NAMI North Texas has been a place of hope and support for individuals and families navigating the challenges of mental health conditions.

    😂 what is confusing? She is advocating for something more than just talking about herself. That is what pageant ladirs do. Specifically she is raising awareness about autism. Why do people like you act confused when a lady speaks. Its like you tried to render her speech useless because you have a hard time comprehending something so simple.

    I don’t understand. Sincerely wondering what she’s talking about. Who is she talking about? Who is trying to speak for her brother, besides herself?
