At NAMI, we embrace the voices of lived experience while using numbers to illustrate the broader impact of mental health conditions on individuals, families, and communities.

It's important to remember that every number represents unique stories from people navigating their mental health journeys.

Whether you are a person with lived experience who wants to see yourself in the data, a student researching mental health conditions, or just someone who wants to learn more, NAMI’s Mental Health By The Numbers is here to help: nami.org/mhstats

Friend breakups such heartbreaking experiences, but they don’t get nearly as much attention as romantic breakups do. If you’re going through one, I hope these tips are helpful! ❤️‍🩹

This Veterans Day, we remember and honor the sacrifices veterans gave for our country.

Our NAMI Staff and HelpLine volunteers are off to commemorate this day - but support is still here for you. If you are a military service member, contact the Military Helpline. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, or visit chat.988lifeline.org

Visit nami.org/homefront to learn about additional resources for veterans and their families.

TOO MANY SUNDAYS

Too many Sundays have been darkened by the dreaded presence of Monday, looming in like a storm cloud of anxiety and fear.
Sunday is your gift, your day to recharge, your freedom.
Be protective of that time.
Monday has its space enough, do not let it overstep its mark.
Make your plans, prepare, then push Monday back into its box and let Sunday shine forth like the jewel it is.
You deserve this day of soul rest.
You work tirelessly my friends.
Life is not a chore to be dealt with, it’s to be lived.
You’re here to live.
And Sunday is a day for doing exactly what your heart desires.

Donna Ashworth
My book ‘life’ was made to open every day and be reminded that you are here to thrive, not just survive
