Building Empathy Through Experience!

Education Director Crystal French led a Pat Deegan Hearing Voices Lab during Carson City’s Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training at the Carson City Sheriff’s Department.

This powerful, hands-on session helps participants understand what it can feel like to hear voices — inspiring compassion, reducing stigma, and improving crisis response for those living with mental health challenges.

Huge thanks to the Carson City Sheriff’s Department for hosting this impactful training and for your commitment to empathetic, informed service! 🙌

Pershing County High School’s Positive Parent Night😁

10/16/2025

This past Tuesday, Jewels, our dedicated outreach staff member, had the pleasure of representing NAMI Western Nevada at the 2025 Storey County Community Resource Fair! The event took place at The Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City, where community members gathered to connect with local organizations and learn about available resources.

It was a great opportunity for us to engage with so many passionate individuals and share the vital mental health support and educational resources NAMI offers. We’re thankful for everyone who stopped by our booth and contributed to making this event a success.

Together, we’re building a stronger, more supportive community.
