Mental Illness Awareness Week 2019
During the first week of October each year, NAMI and participants across the country raise awareness about the critical importance of mental health during Mental Illness Awareness Week. Each year, we educate the public, fight stigma and provide support. And each year, our movement grows stronger. You can join us in doing your part.
Start by spreading awareness of mental health. We need everyone to understand that you can’t have good health without mental health.
