      How can you (or another member of your family) 
      leave money for a relative with mental illness without making them 
      ineligible to receive public benefits such  SSI, Medicaid, etc? A 
      Special Needs Trust could be a solution.  See the NAMI 2015 
      Convention workshop presentation and Special Needs Alliance newsletter 
      feature articles for more information.

      The Special Needs Alliance
      is a national, non-profit organization committed to helping 
      individuals with disabilities, their families and the professionals who 
      serve them. Many of member attorneys have family members with special 
      needs; all of them work regularly with public benefits, guardianships/conservatorships, 
      planning for disabilities and special education issues. They volunteer 
      significant time to the special needs community and advocate for 
      legislative and regulatory change to improve quality of life for 
      individuals with disabilities.
