Did You Know 75% of All Mental Health Conditions Begin by Age 24?

That’s why the college years are so critical for understanding and talking about mental health, and why NAMI partnered with the Jed Foundation to develop the Mental Health College Guide.

Say It Out Loud: Creating Connections Through Conversations!

Created by young people for young people, NAMI Say It Out Loud is a free online card game that will bring you closer to your friends through conversation prompts about life, relationships, and mental health. 

NAMI Family & Friends is a free two-hour online seminar designed to help those who have loved ones with a mental health condition learn how to best support them.

Led by trained individuals with personal experience in supporting a family member with a mental health condition, the seminar covers essential topics such as diagnoses, treatment, recovery, communication strategies, crisis preparation, and NAMI resources.

It’s also a valuable opportunity to connect with others in similar situations and build a supportive community.
