"Mental illness is much more common than people realize, and it can affect anyone," says Anne Kuzara, NAMI Loudon Leader. "One in every five Tennesseans will suffer from a mental illness. Whether we realize it or not, we all know someone who has mental illness. That's why we need NAMI in Loudon County.  Many families live with mental illness every day, and the most important thing NAMI does is help families find support."

NAMI Loudon holds monthly support groups for friends and family members. The group will also offer classes for parents and caregivers to help them cope with day-to-day issues like self-care, medications and crisis management.

More About the Community Church at Tellico Village: https://www.tellicochurch.com/
Located at 130 Chota Lane, Tellico Village, TN our services are at 8:00 a.m. and 10:15 am on Sunday. We call ourselves a "community" church because we believe Jesus made himself available to the whole world-not just a little group of select people. We're not overly troubled by folks who come to us with different beliefs, ideas, or experiences. We find reason to "commune" with each other not because we all think or believe alike, but because we are all seeking the same thing – a Way to a better world, a Truth that sets people free, and a Life that is abundantly full and meaningful.
