Reminder: rest is productive too 💚

Our office will be closed Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day, and there will be no programming that day.

As we continue through Mental Health Awareness Month, our staff will be taking some time to recharge and practice self-care — because caring for your mental health also means giving yourself space to slow down, breathe, and reset.

We hope you’re able to find a little time for yourself this weekend too 🫶

If you were planning to attend our LGBTQIA+ Connection Support Group, our partners at Transform will still be open from 6:00–9:00 pm, but no support group will be held.

We’ll see you back Tuesday!

SO much fun… and so many meaningful conversations 💙

There’s nothing like being surrounded by people who truly get it.

If you’re looking for support, connection, and community for yourself or someone you love, we’d love for you to join our NAMI Family & Friends seminar.

Designed for people who have loved ones experiencing mental health conditions, this seminar offers practical tools, shared understanding, and a welcoming space to connect with others who understand — all at no cost to attend.

We are honored to partner with Millstone Fund and deeply grateful for their support of our mission to help individuals and families in our region affected by mental illness build better lives. 💙

Millstone Fund is proud to support NAMI Southwest Ohio with a grant to help expand access to mental health education, advocacy, and support services across the region.

Through peer-led programs, support groups, educational courses, and outreach efforts, their work helps ensure more people have access to compassionate mental health support and information.

Their work continues to help individuals and families feel supported, connected, and empowered as they navigate mental health challenges and access needed resources.

We wanted to give a huge shoutout to the incredible Winton Woods Dance Team for showing up at NAMIWalks Southwest Ohio last weekend. 💙

Seeing young people come together in support of mental health was so powerful and such an important reminder that no one has to go through this alone. Your energy, support, and willingness to show up for your community helped make the day even more meaningful.

We also wanted to share some kind words from one of our walkers about just how incredible the dance team was and the impact your presence had at the event.

Thank you for walking with us and helping break stigma together.

Thank you to everyone who came out to NAMIWalks Southwest Ohio last weekend. 💙

It was incredible to see so many people show up in support of mental health and remind our community of something so important: no one has to go through this alone. Every conversation, every team, every volunteer, and every step taken helped make this event so meaningful.

While we were at the walk, we spoke with a volunteer, a caregiver, and a peer about why NAMIWalks matters so much to them—and why spaces like this are so important for our community.

Thank you for walking with us, sharing your stories, and helping break stigma together.
