We’re incredibly grateful to White Castle for their generous donation to NAMI Greater Indianapolis.

This support will directly impact our ability to provide free mental health programs across our community, including support groups for individuals living with mental health conditions, education programs for families and caregivers, and outreach efforts that connect people to critical resources. It also helps us continue expanding programs like NAMI Homefront, strengthening volunteer training, and increasing access in underserved communities.

We also want to thank the White Castle management team for taking the time to have an open and meaningful conversation about mental health. Their commitment to supporting their staff and ensuring they are living healthy, supported lives speaks volumes about their leadership and values.

Partnerships like this make a real difference. We’re proud to work alongside organizations that are helping break stigma and prioritize mental wellness in the workplace and beyond.

Every day, thousands of people living with mental illness encounter the criminal justice system — often because they were unable to access treatment and support when they needed it most.

During National Criminal Justice Month, NAMI Greater Indianapolis is helping raise awareness about the intersection of mental health and the justice system and the importance of diversion, treatment, and community support. The system can often be daunting, confusing, and overwhelming. NAMI National has developed a navigation guide to help anyone affected or involved in the criminal justice system.

Mental illness should be met with care — not incarceration.

Together we can advocate for systems that prioritize treatment, recovery, and dignity.

Many people entering the criminal justice system are living with untreated mental health conditions.

When communities invest in:
• Crisis intervention
• Mental health courts
• Community treatment programs
• Peer and family support

—we create pathways toward recovery instead of incarceration.

NAMI Greater Indianapolis is committed to educating our community and supporting policies that expand access to mental health care.

Global events and rising tensions around the world can be difficult to watch, especially for Veterans, Service Members, and their families. News about international conflict or military activity can bring up stress, memories from past deployments, or concern for those currently serving. For many who have worn the uniform and their families, these moments can reopen difficult emotions or reminders of their own experiences.

If you are feeling that weight, you are not alone.

At NAMI Greater Indianapolis, our mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals and families through support, education, and advocacy. That commitment includes making sure Veterans and their families know there is a place in our community where they can find understanding, connection, and support.
