The lives of over 60 million Americans are affected by mental health conditions annually. To reduce stigma and provide support for people with mental illness and their loved ones, NAMI participates in several mental health awareness events annually.

Participating in a local or national NAMI event is a great way for you to both increase your knowledge and understanding of the complexity of mental illness, and share that knowledge with others. Through these events we can expel myths, educate the public and show support for the many people affect by mental health conditions that are working to improve their health and their lives.
