🌱 Let failure be your teacher.
Sometimes the hardest lessons come disguised as setbacks. What if, instead of viewing failure as defeat, we saw it as growth? Life offers free lessons that empower and strengthen us — if we’re willing to learn from them.

At NAMI Louisiana, we understand that challenges can be heavy, but they also shape resilience, perspective, and hope. 💙

Recently, NAMI Louisiana hosted five impactful presentations across Our Lady of the Lake hospitals in Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Ascension Parish, and Bogalusa — all focused on supporting the mental health of those who care for others. 🩺💭

Each session explored how to spot burnout, acknowledge the need for rest, and address the mental health challenges healthcare workers face, including su***de awareness and prevention.

Even caregivers need care — and together, we’re breaking the stigma, promoting wellness, and fostering resilience throughout Louisiana’s healthcare community. 🌿

NAMI Louisiana was honored to participate in the Girl Scouts of Louisiana – Pines to the Gulf's 2025 Girl Boss Bash on Saturday, October 4th. Our Advocacy and State Program Director, Mary Alice Cash, along with volunteer Molly Lacy, had the pleasure of teaching the Girl Scouts about emotions and mental health in the Life Skills section of the event.

With the help of "Little Monster," the Girl Scouts learned to recognize their feelings and created their own "Worried Monster Box," a positive coping tool designed to help them manage overwhelming emotions. Mary and Molly also presented NAMI's Ending the Silence program to the older girls, helping them begin to understand their mental health and ways to take care of their well-being.

Thank you to the Girl Scouts of Louisiana – Pines to the Gulf for allowing NAMI Louisiana the opportunity to help spread mental health awareness at the 2025 Girl Boss Bash event!

🧠 Mental Illness Awareness Week | October 5–11, 2025 💚
This week, we shine a light on Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) — a condition that can cause uncontrollable movements often linked to long-term mental health treatment.

At NAMI Louisiana, we believe open conversations can lead to understanding, compassion, and better care. 💬
Let’s break the stigma together — talk to your healthcare provider, support those living with TD, and help create a community where everyone feels seen and supported. 💚

10/08/2025

🧠 Mental Illness Awareness Week is here (Oct 5–11), and we’re raising awareness about Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) — a lesser-known, involuntary movement disorder caused by some mental health medications.

💬 TD affects over 800,000 adults in the U.S. — but ~60% remain undiagnosed.
🎗️ TD is treatable, and awareness can lead to better care and support.
Let’s and support individuals living with both mental illness and the side effects of their treatment.
📍Learn more, share this post, and help break the stigma.
