I completed training and am now a certified NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Connection Support Group facilitator. Hopefully by the end of February I will be facilitating a support group. I'm excited! On the drive home from the training I took an old road that runs alongside a big river and saw a Red Fox (very rare in this region) running alongside the river. It was magnificent!

What a wonderful accomplishment. How exciting to use what you have learned to truly assist in helping people.

Oh, getting to see the little red fox is so special. We have them all around my farm but they are very illusive...i was so excited one evening when i looked out & saw ine in thefield behind my house. That was sort of like the icing on the cake for you that day....everything special happened.

Wishing youthe best with your NAMI facilitating in the future

Thank you all, so much

Eskielover, seeing the fox was just amazing. They are very rare here. I have always considered the red fox my totem animal, so, yes...very exciting and special to actually see one.

How wonderful for you, zijax! Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I co-facilitated a group last week and it went pretty well. I'm still waiting for my regular group assignment though.
