This year has brought significant challenges to the mental health landscape.

Many factors have added to the stress of daily life, impacting everyone's mental well-being in one way or another. We all have mental health, and we all need support. That’s why NAMI Vermont stepped up to do even more. We’ve delivered powerful presentations, participated in events, run programs for families supporting loved ones or youth, advocated for those in need, and are actively working on opening additional support groups. Our primary goal for this year was to foster connection.

We sought to connect with community members, non-profits, schools, and workplaces, striving to be there for everyone in any way we can. As the demand for our programs and services continues to rise, we need your support to meet this growing need in Vermont. Please consider donating to NAMI Vermont before the end of the year. Help us be there for more people who are struggling and need these vital resources. Be part of the effort to expand our programs so that no one feels alone and can have access to support groups with peers who truly understand what they're going through.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Support Groups in November! We are glad that folks across Vermont continue to join our groups, whether virtually or in person, to access this free, confidential mental health service. If you're seeking support this month, consider joining our groups!

Here's the schedule for December: please note that a few of our support groups, such as the Burlington Connection Support Group and the Berlin Family Support Group, will have different schedules this month due to the holidays. The regular schedule will resume in January, with adjustments made for upcoming holidays as needed. Check our events calendar at www.namivt.org/events, and sign up for reminders to stay up to date on any last-minute schedule changes.

All NAMI Vermont Support Groups are free, confidential, and facilitated by trained volunteers who truly understand what support group participants are going through, because they've been there - whether they're living with a mental health condition themselves or support a loved one. No registration is required for our support groups, and you're welcome to join at any time! Find all the details about our groups at www.namivt.org/support-groups.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are able to offer these support groups at no cost! If you’d like to contribute to this important work and help us expand our services throughout Vermont in the coming year, please consider donating to our annual appeal at www.namivt.org/donate.

Help us reach our $30,000 goal by making a donation today!

The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Vermont (NAMI Vermont) is dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating so that all communities, families, and individuals affected by mental illness or mental health challenges can build better lives.

One way we work toward accomplishing our mission is through our programs. In FY2025, there was a lot of interest in the NAMI In Our Own Voice presentation, which was delivered 29 times statewide. In Our Own Voice (www.namivt.org/ioov) is a FREE educational presentation led by two trained presenters living in recovery with a mental health condition. This program elevates the stories of our volunteer presenters to raise awareness about mental health and work to eliminate the stigma surrounding it. Presenters often report that sharing their lived experience in this way is healing for them, as well.

During FY2025, 525 participants attended our In Our Own Voice presentations. This was made possible thanks to donors like you! These presentations spark important conversations about mental health and create a ripple effect. By donating today, you are ensuring that we can continue to bring essential programs like In Our Own Voice to communities across the state and inspire hope, so that no one has to suffer in silence. Your contributions make a real difference in the lives of individuals affected by mental health challenges. Every little bit helps!
