NAMI Celebrates Mental Health Awareness Month with "Take the Moment" Campaign

Fostering Open Dialogues and Cultivating Empathy

Supporting Mental Health through Awareness and Advocacy

This year, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month with its "Take the Moment" campaign. NAMI encourages the public to join in fostering open dialogues and cultivating empathy around mental health issues.

The campaign focuses on raising awareness of mental illness and fighting discrimination. Each year during Mental Health Awareness Month, NAMI and participants across the country organize events and initiatives to promote understanding and support for those affected by mental health conditions.

For more than 20 years, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has recognized Mental Health Awareness Month every May to increase awareness and reduce stigma surrounding mental health. SAMHSA provides resources and support for individuals and communities affected by mental illness.
