NAMI chapter offers educational program The Athens chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill is offering a free educational program beginning Thursday. Participants will learn about illnesses, symptoms and relapse, basics about the brain and medication, coping and communication skills, and crisis management. The day will recognize the more than 16,000 charitable organizations around the state meeting critical needs and addressing important issues in Georgia's communities. The boat ramp, located in Pickens County, S.C., closed Friday and will be closed approximately one week to repave the parking lot. The initiative involves the transfer of computer technology to families who participate in programs leading to greater self-sufficiency.
