I've been working on gathering information to begin a non-profit organization for people who suffer from mental illness.

I'm now in the stages of starting to look for funding for the organization.

Here's the thing...I have not thought of a name for the organization as of yet.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Give me any names you can think of for this project. I have to submit something in a very short amount of time.

Thanks Guys!!!

Hey Hanna,

What is the goal of your program (main goal), and the specific population you are trying to reach (I mean very specific). Also, what are some of its objectives (short-term goals)?

HannaHana 02/07/2011

The objective of the organization is to teach people (mentally ill or not) about mental illnesses, medications, the importance of therapy and different types of therapy and to provide support to people who need help with things such as applying for SSDI, , applying for state aid, and hopefully financial support to those who are in-between financial guidelines.

Mental Illness Awareness and Support. mias

We have an program here called Well Ways.

I think it should be a postive name and nothing to do with mental illness in the title cos of the stigma.

You know positive stuff, here's some brainstorming
Hope for the future
Recovery to Health
Wellbeing
Recovery Project
Healthy Futures
blah blah you get where I am coming from
