We will not have our Strand group this afternoon due to our holiday shutdown- we hope you all stay warm at home !

As the year comes to a close, we want to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We are deeply grateful for the continued support, compassion, and commitment of our community. May the holiday season bring you peace, connection, and moments of joy, and may the New Year be filled with hope, health, and new opportunities.

As the holiday season winds down, Norman and Trixie wanted to share one last moment of kindness before they head back to the North Pole.

"Thank you for welcoming us into your days, your homes, and your hearts.
We came to remind you of something important — you are never alone.
Your feelings matter. Your story matters. And your mental health matters."

Norman brought calm, coping skills, and gentle encouragement…
Trixie brought connection, warmth, and a little extra sparkle…
But you brought the courage — to show up, to try, to care for yourself, and to care for others.

As we pack up our tiny mittens and head home, we leave you with this wish:

May the new year bring hope, healing, connection, and moments of peace.
And may you always remember to take care of your mind the way you care for your heart.

Until next season,
Norman & Trixie
Your NAMI Wellness Elves

Trixie is here to cheer Norman on as he practices asking for what he needs.
"Advocating for your needs is a strength, not a burden."

Trixie reminds Norman — and all of us — to speak kindly to ourselves.
"You deserve compassion too. What’s something kind you can say to yourself today?"

Hello and Happy Holidays!

As we come to the close of the year, we want to extend our sincere gratitude to our community for your continued support, trust, and involvement.
This year has been one of growth, learning, and connection. Because of you, we were able to provide education, support, and hope to individuals and families across our community. Your participation, advocacy, and encouragement make our work possible and meaningful.

As we look ahead to the new year, we are excited to continue expanding our programs, strengthening connections, and walking alongside those we serve. We remain committed to building a community where no one feels alone and mental health is met with understanding and compassion.

Thank you for being part of our NAMI family. We wish you a peaceful holiday season and a hopeful start to the new year.

With gratitude,

NAMI Northwest Ohio Staff
