We were honored to attend Hidden in Plain Sight: Understanding Human Trafficking & Online Exploitation, an important community conversation focused on awareness, prevention, and protection.

Events like this highlight how critical education, collaboration, and advocacy are in addressing issues that deeply impact mental health, safety, and overall well-being. We’re grateful to the organizers, speakers, and partners who continue shining a light on realities that too often go unseen.

If your organization would like NAMI Louisiana to attend or participate in an event, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We value opportunities to connect, collaborate, and support our communities across the state.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose vision of justice, compassion, and equality continues to guide us forward. Dr. King reminded us that true change begins with love, understanding, and the courage to care for one another—especially in moments when the work feels hard.

As we reflect on his words and actions, we recommit ourselves to building a world where mental health is treated with the same dignity and urgency as physical health. A world where every person is seen, heard, and supported, regardless of their background or circumstances.

At NAMI Louisiana, we believe mental health equity is essential to Dr. King’s dream. Today and every day, we honor his legacy by choosing empathy, advocating for access, and standing together in community—because justice includes mental health for all. 💙
