A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm calling to ask about mental health counseling or support.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the NAMI Washtenaw County Support, Education, and Advocacy program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Serves Washtenaw County communities including Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter, Milan, Saline, and Ypsilanti?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Office hours vary; support groups are scheduled monthly and many are online. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see use the website to register for support groups or call the office for program guidance.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
