Hi Loraine,
I'm starting to work on a series of articles for the Ledger Dispatch exploring mental health issues, resources (or lack thereof) in Amador and I'm looking for people to interview. I'm hoping to find  people in the county affected by mental illness either as a mental health consumer or family member/ loved one who is. I can change names to help protect identities.

Would mind sending out my request? People can e-mail me at bmonk@ledger-dispatch.com or call me at 223-1767, extension 209.

This will be an important series and those willing to help will doing a great service to the community. With the threat of mental health services being cut, I feel I need to keep this issue in the community's eyes. Weaving in personal stories, I think, will help.

Thank you,
Bethany Monk
