¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana!

Este me celebramos nuestra cultura, nuestras raíces y las historias que nos unen como una gran comunidad.

Do you have a family member with mental health issues? Do you feel alone and overwhelmed? We can help.

Taking care of someone with a mental health issue can be isolating and overwhelming. Our family match program connects you with free, one-on-one support from one family member to another by telephone. Our three-month program matches you with someone whose family member has a similar relationship and diagnosis. Our mentors have been where you are and are ready to provide emotional support.

Over the course of 3 months, our Mentor will call you to:

Provide emotional support.

Listen to your story.

Share experiences.

Share ideas for taking care of yourself.

Share ideas for advocating for your loved one across the mental health systems.

NAMI Aiken-Barnwell provides support, education, and advocacy for families and individuals affected by mental health conditions. Our programs are free and open to anyone who needs them, regardless of income or citizenship status. Any information shared is kept confidential.

Compartiendo Esperanza es una iniciativa lanzada por la Alianza Nacional de Enfermedades Mentales (NAMI) diseñada para desestigmatizar el bienestar mental y crear caminos hacia la curación en las comunidades hispanas / latinas arraigadas en la sabiduría colectiva y el empoderamiento de la comunidad.
Nuestro objetivo es empoderar a nuestros hermanos y hermanas para que hablen abiertamente sobre la salud y el bienestar; e identificar formas de crear sanación y plenitud. Hacemos esto compartiendo experiencias de primera mano, identificando los signos y síntomas de los desafíos de salud mental, de estigmatizando la conversación y compartiendo herramientas saludables, como cómo encontrar el terapeuta adecuado o crear un “sistema de apoyo”.
La falta de información sobre problemas de salud mental puede impedir que las personas en las
comunidades hispanas / latinas tengan acceso a la ayuda y el apoyo que tanto necesitan.
Compartiendo Esperanza es la iniciativa de NAMI para comunicar información y compartir
recursos de calidad. Entendemos que no podemos ayudar sin entender primero las necesidades
específicas; Por lo tanto, nos comprometemos a escuchar y explorar el viaje del bienestar
mental a través de conversaciones intencionales, narraciones y discusiones impulsadas por
videos sobre los siguientes temas:
Juventud y bienestar mental
Líderes comunitarios y bienestar mental
Familias Latinex y Bienestar Mental.

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month 💚

From September 15–October 15, we honor the cultures, contributions, and communities of Hispanic and Latino Americans while continuing an important conversation around mental health.
