When Danielle lost her sister to suicide, she refused to let her story go. Since then, she's dedicated herself to breaking the stigma and supporting suicide prevention — but most importantly, to keeping her sister's story alive so anyone who might be struggling can hear it. Together, we can end the silence and stop the stigma. Together, we can tell our stories and prevent suicide. Start a conversation. Be the difference. Find more resources at nami.org/SPM. #SuicidePreventionMonth

Knowing what to look for can help save a life. Withdrawing from loved ones, changes in sleep, increased aggression, reckless behavior, or extreme mood swings can be warning signs that someone may be struggling or thinking about suicide. Recognize the signs. Reach out. Listen without judgment. Remind them they’re not alone. 💜 Talking about suicide isn’t harmful. Silence is. Start a conversation. Be the difference. Find more resources at nami.org/SPM. #SuicidePreventionMonth

What does wellness mean to you? It's never too late in the year to start (or restart) wellness practices and routines. For #NationalWellnessMonth, we'll be posting reminders and information on why different kinds of wellness matter for your mental and physical health.

Love is love - and when you love someone, you accept them for who they are, and believe in building a world where love and support come without conditions, because each person is inherently worthy. Share and repost for those who might need to see this today. #PrideMonth Learn more about resources at nami.org/lgbtq

How can cultural ideas shape mental health perspectives? Trinh shares how different members of her family - from her grandmother's mental health symptoms being regarded as "evil spirits" to her dad's experiences as a refugee after the Vietnam War - shaped challenges in finding the language to address their trauma.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His words remind us that courage is revealed not in comfort, but in moments of challenge—when standing up for justice, dignity, and humanity matters most. At NAMI, we carry that call forward by advocating for mental health care, equity, and compassion for all. 🕊️ #MLKDay #MLKDayOfService #MentalHealthEquity
Photograph of the Martin Luther King Jr. monument in Washington DC: a building-sized statue carved from white granite, with a wintery blue sky behind the statue. Above the statue is his following quote, from his book Strength to Love : “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.“
