As kids grow, their emotions can become more complex — and so can the ways they understand and respond to them.

The Understand activities from Me in Mind by NAMI give kids in grades 3–5 hands-on opportunities to expand their emotional vocabulary, notice how feelings can show up in their bodies, recognize emotional cues in others, and explore different ways to cope.

From creating a Pizza My Mood feelings wheel to practicing Pause. Think. Act. and trying different Coping Stations, each activity helps turn emotional learning into something kids can practice and use in everyday life.

On World Su***de Prevention Day, let’s take the opportunity to spread hope and remind one another of the power of connection and being heard.

Asking someone how they’re really doing — and being ready to truly listen — can save a life.

Today, we’re sharing words from people in the NAMI community with lived experience of suicidal thoughts or su***de attempts. Their experiences are different, but their words remind us of the power of hope, connection, and support.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Swipe to explore their words of hope, and find more resources at nami.org/spm.
