Celebrate #BraveDays with us!
Every May, the world unites to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month. Not that we think mental health awareness should be limited to just one month, but it is a great opportunity to highlight the growth and progress we as a society have made in accepting the realities of mental health while also raising awareness to the barriers that still stand in our way.

Mental Health Awareness Month
Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. During May, NAMI joins the national movement to raise awareness about mental health. Each year we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for policies that support people with mental illness and their families.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week
While a full month dedicated to mental health awareness is already amazing, an entire week in May is dedicated to children’s mental health! We advocate to improve supports and services for youth, and celebrate all the work that has been done to raise awareness in the past.
We celebrate the hope, strength and resilience of youth, caregivers and families. We wear green ribbons to help raise public awareness and to show our support for children, youth and young adults.
