The holiday season can be an exciting time, filled with celebrations, good food and gatherings with loved ones. But it can also be a difficult time for many, with darker days, the stress of gift-giving and preparations and grief for loved ones no longer with us.
No matter where a person may be this season, NAMI wants to ensure they know they are not alone. That’s why, in addition to continuing to offer our free services throughout the holidays (such as our National HelpLine and free support groups), we are also making our national best-selling book, “You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health,” more accessible, made possible by the Peter Corbin Kohn Endowment.
Truly the first of its kind, this book offers not only expert advice from mental health professionals, but also wisdom from more than 130 peers from the NAMI community who share their names and stories to help others wrestling with a mental health condition or supporting a loved one.
Every time you purchase a copy of NAMI’s book this month, you can also gift one to a person or organization of your choice for free. Simply upload your receipt here and indicate where you’d like us to send your complimentary copy. And on December 15, you can download the Kindle version of NAMI’s book through Amazon for only $1.99.
We hope you’ll join us in spreading our book and the critical message behind it — You Are Not Alone — to every individual this holiday season.
