Part 2/9:
Marino’s journey with NAMI began a couple of years ago when he connected with Dan Gillison, the organization’s CEO. Understanding the pressing need for increased awareness around mental health, he partnered with Stay Healthy Zone, a digital wellness company, to enhance NAMI's outreach initiatives. Marino suggested that while society has progressed in its understanding of mental health, many still struggle with the stigma and challenges of reaching out for help.
