DES MOINES, Iowa \u2014<\/p>\n
Mary Neubauer, a leading mental health advocate from Clive, has been selected as the interim executive director of NAMI Iowa. <\/p>\n
The NAMI Iowa Board of Directors announced that Neubauer took over the role this week to help lead the organization during a transitional period. She previously served six years on the board, including one year as president. <\/p>\n
Neubauer said she became a mental health advocate after her son died by suicide in 2017. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur family was directly impacted by the lack of mental health supports in Iowa for our son when he was in crisis,\u201d Neubauer said. \u201cI remember how terrifying and frustrating that was. NAMI Iowa has been instrumental in efforts to do better for our loved ones who need help \u2013 and there are families facing that situation every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neubauer will guide the organization while the board searches for a permanent executive director.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mary Neubauer, a mental health advocate from Clive, has been appointed interim executive director of NAMI Iowa during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":916668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[18290,1510,3006,97,382950,13014,382951,259,82600,260,107703,3,12325,5572,4990,18329,12973,382952,1975,2394],"class_list":["post-916667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mental-health","tag-board","tag-directors","tag-family","tag-health","tag-interim-executive-director","tag-iowa","tag-mary-neubauer","tag-mental-health","tag-mental-health-advocate","tag-mentalhealth","tag-nami-iowa","tag-news","tag-organization","tag-president","tag-role","tag-situation","tag-son","tag-transitional-period","tag-week","tag-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=916667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/916668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=916667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=916667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=916667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
