"While I'm in a good place now with my recovery, I have experienced many challenges navigating depression, an eating disorder, and PTSD. These personal experiences with mental illness and different types of treatment are not only tolerated but valuable in my work with NAMI."

So many students like Sadie are turning their experiences with mental illness into real impact through volunteer and advocacy work. When people like her refuse to be silent and use their understanding to show empathy to others, amazing things happen.

If you have a story of recovery, share it with others. You never know who you could impact for good.

Community engagement and inclusion is so paramount to the work we do. That's why we were excited to partner with NAMI Foothills NC to host this series of events this spring.

Members of our staff who attended loved the opportunity to interact with the residents of Wilkes Towers and show support in a real hands-on way. Plus nothing beats getting to spend your work day painting or taking in mountain views with amazing people.

The relationship between mental illness and substance use disorders is complex and interconnected. Understanding this relationship allows us to develop treatments and eradicate barriers to care with empathy and effectiveness.

We were proud to contribute to this article by SouthLight Healthcare exploring this connection in more detail.

This weekend serves as the unofficial start of summer, which means longer days, warm weather, and tons of opportunities to spend time with family and friends. Some summer self-care ideas:
• Stay hydrated in the heat with plenty of water.
• Grab that sunscreen and get outdoors! Swimming, hiking, or outdoor yoga are all great ways to stay healthy.
• Find ways to be social - invite a friend to catch up over coffee or ice cream.
• Give back by volunteering at your local church camp, community garden, food bank, or other community organization.

What is your favorite self-care activity when the weather gets warm? Share with us in the comments!
