I would love to see our consumers get in on this:
ValueOptions will be hosting the Consumer Welcome Center at the NAMI National Convention, June 18-21, in Austin. Our Coppell office is taking the lead in planning for the center.
We will be reimbursing consumers who would like to staff the center in shifts that will be two or three hours long at the rate of $10 an hour. This will be paid in cash at the end of the shift. Consumers are welcome to work multiple shifts, or one shift a day, or just one shift--whatever is preferred.
Please contact me as soon as possible if you are attending the conference and are interested in helping to staff the Consumer Welcome Center.
All who staff the center will receive training at a time to be designated prior to the Center's opening. You will also receive T-shirts that indicate you are Welcome Center Staff.
We are very excited about hosting the Center and hope all of you will come to visit us, whether or not you decide to help with the staffing!
You can respond to me by e-mail either here or at my work e-mail, which is listed below, or you can call me. You can also reach me toll free within Texas by calling 1-888-800-6799 and asking to be transferred to me. I am out of the office at community meetings frequently, but I will call you back if you leave me a message, if you would like to discuss this opportunity in more detail. I will also call you if you e-mail me your number and a good time to reach you.
