Have you known someone going through a tough time and wanted to help but didn’t know how? It’s important to learn the warning signs of mental health conditions and how to start a conversation about them. While the first conversation is important, the road doesn’t end there.
These conversations aren’t easy, but they’re critical to have. You can make a positive difference for someone you care about. No one should face a mental health challenge alone. Thanks to you, your loved ones won’t have to.
We’re always accepting submissions to the NAMI Blog! We feature the latest research, stories of recovery, ways to end stigma and strategies for living well with mental illness. Most importantly: We feature your voices.
