Hufsa first made her presence known five years ago as a volunteer for the NAMI Walk committee. She later brought her expertise of social media and led four or more of us through hours of blogging on mental illness. For the last two years, she has led a walk team that consistently was in the top teams for donations raised. For nearly 5 years, her efforts have made a major impact on NAMI Orange County. She’s worked at the Warmline as a Peer Mentor and taught Peer to Peer and Provider classes. She’s made countless speeches advocating for those living with mental illness and has played an important role in destigmatizing mental illness here in Orange County. Hufsa is just an excellent example of one person making a difference.
