Our hearts go out to the entire Dallas Cowboys organization, and to the family and loved ones of Marshawn Kneeland. Just days after scoring his very first NFL touchdown, the world lost him to su***de — a sobering reminder that even in life’s highest moments, someone can still be fighting battles we cannot see.

At NAMI Southwest Missouri, we stand with those who are grieving and we want to remind our community that mental health matters. You never truly know what someone is going through, so check in often, listen with compassion, and remind those around you that help and hope are always within reach.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone.
📞 988 — Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
There is help. There is hope. 💛

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Veterans 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country with courage, dedication, and sacrifice. At NAMI Southwest Missouri, we recognize that for many veterans, the battle doesn’t end when the uniform comes off.

Mental health challenges such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety are struggles that too many of our nation’s heroes face in silence. But help is available—and no one should have to fight alone. 💚

This Veterans Day, we encourage our community to:
💬 Start the conversation—check in with a veteran in your life.
🤝 Share resources—help connect them to support and care.
💙 Show compassion—remind them their service and well-being matter.

To all who have served: thank you. Your strength and resilience inspire us every day.
If you or someone you know is a veteran seeking mental health support, call or text 988 and press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.
