Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month
Since 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month has been pivotal in highlighting the struggles faced by millions of Americans living with mental health conditions. In May, NAMI Dupage joins this national effort to combat stigma, promote support, spread awareness, and champion policies that prioritize the well-being of individuals and families impacted by mental illness.
Explore NAMI DuPage’s schedule of in-person and virtual events. We invite you to be part of the movement!
And don’t forget our big celebration on May 31st, where we come together to fight the stigma surrounding mental health. Join us!
