Building a Healthier, More Connected Community!
Wellness is a journey, and we are committed to making sure no one has to walk it alone. Join Prince William Community Services for an afternoon dedicated to health, connection, and support at the Lowering the Barriers to Wellness Community Resource Fair.

Whether you're looking for local resources, wanting to learn new coping strategies, or simply looking to foster a sense of belonging in our community, there is a place for you here.

Let’s break down barriers and grow stronger together. We can’t wait to see you there!

Everyone has mental health. And sometimes we struggle with it.

Many employees want to support their colleagues, but they may not feel confident starting a conversation about mental health.

You Can Ask by NAMI is a new workplace training designed to help employees feel more comfortable talking about mental health with their coworkers.

Through this interactive, story-based course, employees learn how to understand more about mental health concerns, prepare for conversations about mental health, empathize with their colleagues, and sustain supportive conversations.

Mental Health Monday

What is mental health diversion, and is it available in my community?

Diversion programs help people access treatment instead of incarceration.

Navigating the Criminal Justice System:
A NAMI resource for people with mental illness and their families explains what diversion may look like in your community and how families can access available options.

What’s one word that reflects your leadership and impact as a woman?

For International Women’s Day, we invited women across NAMI to share the one word that reflects how they lead, support others, and show up in their work every day.

Their responses speak to the many ways women strengthen our communities, amplify voices, and help move the mental health movement forward.

At NAMI, women are advocates, leaders, listeners, and builders of connection and hope.

Watch the video to see the words shared by women across our organization.

If you’d like to join the conversation, share your one word in the comments. We’d love to hear what reflects your leadership and impact.

People with mental illness are overrepresented in the U.S. criminal justice system, and there is a pressing lack of resources to support families of people with mental illness who become involved in this system.

This guide is meant to help people and their families better understand the criminal justice system and guide them on their journey.
