ALL IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION
Kadima, as all non-profits, has taken a hit
from the terrible economic situation!! We
desperately need your continued financial
support to help us help our less fortunate
individuals struggling with mental illness
and who depend on Kadima as their
family for housing, medications, therapy,
employment and social activities!!
My best wishes for peace and an early
spring!!

on "Childhood Onset Bipolar Disorder:
Under Diagnosed, Under-Treated and
Under-Discussion". Afternoon breakout
sessions will include a panel discussion
about how different communities deal with
their own families struggling with mental

Kadima received a two-year research-
based grant in collaboration with Wayne State
University. This grant will study whether clients
with serious mental illness and co-occurring
disorders will benefit from motivational
interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy
in a Community Mental Health program.
Funds from this grant include staff training
and ongoing supervision for motivational
interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy.

JEWISH DISABILITIES
AWARENESS MONTH
February is Jewish Disabilities Awareness
Month. Mental illness isolates and
ostracizes, produces loneliness and
despair, takes away one's independence
and dignity — and sometimes one's home,
family and reason to live. Please join
with Kadima in recognizing men and
women with critical mental illness issues
that Kadima serves each day.
