Mental Illness Awareness Week
Mental health affects everyone. While one in five U.S. adults experiences a mental health condition annually, the impact extends to the friends, family, coworkers, and others who support them. Mental health is something we all experience, manage, and need support with. No one should have to face these challenges alone. We invite you to join NAMI affiliates across the country from October 5-11 as we celebrate community with this year’s theme, “Building Community: Supporting Mental Well-being Together.” For more information about MIAW and to get involved, click here.
