The Mason Parks & Recreation Foundation is a non-profit (501(c)3) organization formed to raise private funds to enhance Mason’s parks and recreation programs. Foundations to improve parks and recreation resources exist in nearly every community because situations arise where it is not appropriate to use tax dollars for all projects or activities. In addition, foundations can access outside funding in the form of grants and donations made available only to non-profit organizations.

The Mason Parks & Recreation Foundation has been working toward building an inclusive playground called Common Ground (http://masonparksfoundation.org/common-ground/). This playground will allow people of all abilities to play together. The access road for the park on Reading Road was completed last year, and we are working on getting the additional funding needed to build the park.

NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness. Members of NAMI are families, friends and people living with mental illness such as major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder.

Mental illnesses are real diseases causing disturbances in feeling, relating, or thinking. These illnesses do not discriminate and affect people of all ages, ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. One out of every four families in America has a member who lives with mental illness. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that one in four adults—approximately 57.7 million Americans—experiences a mental health disorder in a given year. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2020, mental illness will be the second leading cause of disability worldwide, after heart disease.

The families and members of NAMI Southwest Ohio are here to help! We offer understanding to anyone concerned about mental illnesses and the treatment of mental illness.
