Today is Election Day, a time to make our voices heard on issues that shape our communities and lives. As you head to the polls, don’t forget to #Vote4MentalHealth. The importance of mental health in shaping policies, resources, and support systems cannot be overstated. Your vote is a powerful tool in advocating for mental health resources and policies that uplift and support our community.

The election season often brings heightened stress and anxiety for many. The constant flow of news, intense social discussions, and anticipation around outcomes can impact our mental well-being. NAMI’s CEO, Dan Gillison, offers a reminder to everyone today: No matter the outcome of the election, NAMI is here for you.

We know that mental health can be affected by events beyond our control, but it’s also something that should never be faced alone.
