🎵Where is today? 😎
We are out in the community—and we loved spotting Johnny from Johnny’s Music Shoppe proudly rocking our NAMI Stark sunglasses! Johnny runs a popular shop right in Massillon and does incredible work supporting the Massillon High School Band and young musicians in our community.
Thank you, Johnny, for sporting our gear and for all you do to lift up local talent and youth 🎶💙

As we step into 2026, we asked NAMI staff one simple question:
What’s one word you’re carrying into the new year?

These words reflect intention, care, and hope — reminders that growth doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.

Here’s to moving forward together, one word at a time. 💙

Some days don’t go according to plan—and that’s okay. 💙
Give yourself grace. Pause. Breathe. Reset. You’re allowed to have off days without judging yourself for them.
If you’re looking for extra support, connection, or ways to grow, visit NAMI Stark County’s website to learn more about our classes, volunteer opportunities, and support groups. You don’t have to do this alone.
