NASNIcares strongly advises that anyone experiencing concerning symptoms or anyone observing concerning signs and symptoms that are characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “mental health” or “mental illness”, should see a medical doctor.

Tragic Statistics

Although only 1 percent of the general population has a diagnosis of “Schizophrenia” (renamed Jacobi Fleming Nasse Syndromes by NASNIcares). Individuals with this neurological syndrome represent a staggering number of the unhoused and incarcerated population:

24% of jail population

20-30% of homeless population

15% of state prison population

A Need for a Different Approach to Advocacy

Eradicating stigma is important but it’s not enough to drive down those statistics. Families, caregivers, and advocates have work to do to reform a system that produces these catastrophic outcomes.

NASNIcares is building a community of advocates to work together to make a difference.
