The largest mental health agency in Clark County. Go to the parking lot. Up against awall ar e three small trees in a row. At the base of the middle one, under the ivy lives the Stop the Stigma box.
Please be very discreet. The best time to pick up this box would be after 5 PM as there is a lot of foot traffic. A weekend would be good too.
NAMI stands for the National Alliance for the Mentally ill. http://www.nami.org/
NAMI's mission statement: NAMI is dedicated to the eradication of mental illnesses and to the improvement of the quality of life of all whose lives are affected by these diseases.
Stop the stigma of mental illness. It is estimated that 1 out of 5 Americans suffer from a diagnoisable mental illness. Part of the reason people don't seek treat is because our society sends the message to have a mental illness is not socially acceptable. Seeking treatment is extremely scary and once done many people go on to have a productive life.
This box is located outside, in some trees, and near dirt. In other words, it's in a natural environment. There are bugs, snakes, rabbits and other natural critters living there. I assume that you are either an adult or with an adult. Therefore, you would prolly already know that bugs bite, snakes slither and sometimes curl up around letterboxes or just cross the path and scare you, and rabbits are terribly distracting to letterboxing dogs. There will also be cars. Make sure you don't run out in front of them. So, do what you must to keep safe and sane. And if you decided to leave my letterbox for another day, or never visit again, it's ok. Take care of yourself.
Many of my boxes are located on very short walks or sometimes in open spaces for a reason. I have a bad knee and can't do the hiking that I would like to do. I try to have boxes that people with mobility issues can enjoy. Many times, the hard part of my boxes is the discretion piece. If I can get a box in there without anyone seeing, then I think you might be able to get it out the same way. Sometimes I have to wait a while to get the timing down. Isn't it fun to be sneaky?
PLEASE REMEMBER TO BE DISCRETE. PLEASE REMEMBER TO HIDE THE BOX EXACTLY WHERE I DID ORIGINALLY. PLEASE REMEMBER TO HIDE THE BOX AS GOOD AS OR BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HIDING AND NOT OUT IN THE OPEN. PLEASE DON'T TELL ANY NEARBY CHILDREN OR OTHERS WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
