Mental health is just as important as physical health.
Not just something to agree with… something to actually practice.

Taking care of your mental health can look like:
• setting boundaries
• asking for support
• taking breaks without guilt
• checking in with yourself, even on the “good” days

NAMI Portage County is unfortunately postponing our NAMI Ride or Roam: Pathways to Mental Health & Hope event. We want the event to be successful and more importantly- enjoyable for all those participating. We feel the best way to ensure this is to move the event to a later date. If you have already registered, that registration will be valid for the new date. The new date and time will be announced shortly.

Today is World Semicolon Day—a reminder that a pause isn’t the end of the story.

“You are loved and we like having you around.”

If you needed that today, we’re really glad you’re here.
And if it doesn’t feel true right now, you’re not alone in that either.

Connection, care, and community can make a difference—one moment at a time.

If you’d like someone to talk to, the NAMI HelpLine is here:
- 1-800-950-NAMI (6264)
- Text “NAMI” to 62640

If you or someone you know is in need of immediate crisis support, contact the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988, or chatting online at chat.988lifeline.org
