Eileen is 73 years old. She is the President of the Board of NAMI Sullivan and has been for the past fifteen years. She retired from the Monticello School District, having worked 33 years in the Pupil Personnel Office. She enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband, children and grandchildren. She belongs to a gym and loves to exercise daily, which helps her mental health!

Twenty five years ago, one of Eileen's sons began to exhibit some mental health issues. He was diagnosed with SchizoAffective Disorder. After approximately ten hospitalizations, he became medication compliant and has been doing well for the last fifteen years.
She and her husband have been involved with NAMI pretty much since he was diagnosed. NAMI has been a godsend to them.
