National Campaign:
Although people live with mental illness throughout the year, in October we set aside a week to raise awareness to guarantee they will be in our thoughts all year long.
In a season we typically associate with changing colors, falling leaves and holidays spent with friends and family it is very important that those living with mental illness have the support and guidance they need.
By donating to NAMI you will ensure that the services, support, education and awareness will be there.
Through our numerous activities, including NAMIWalks, the HelpLine, media outreach as well as the hundreds of support group and education classes offered in communities across the country, NAMI remains steadfast and constant in our efforts to improve lives.
In honor of Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW), NAMI is asking for your support to continue our efforts to provide valuable resources and services which help improve the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness.
In 1990, the U.S. Congress established the first week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) in recognition of NAMI's efforts to raise mental illness awareness.
It presents an opportunity to all NAMI State Organizations and NAMI Affiliates across the country to work together in communities to achieve the NAMI mission through outreach, education and advocacy. (learn more)
