Every lived experience deserves to be heard. Every story has the power to create connection.

This World Mental Health Day, we're recognizing the importance of real voices and the meaningful change that can happen when people feel safe sharing their mental health experiences.

For Sarah Merritt Ryan, co-facilitating a NAMI support group became more than an opportunity to help others. It became a place to find community, share experiences, learn from others, and continue her own journey of recovery.

Her story reminds us that when we listen to people with lived experience, we create opportunities for understanding, belonging, and hope.

This , let's make space for real voices, meaningful conversations, and connections that remind us we're not alone. 💚

What can research teach us about preventing su***de — and about hope?

In a new episode of NAMI’s Hope Starts With Us podcast, NAMI CEO Daniel H. Gillison, Jr. sits down with Jill Harkavy-Friedman, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Research at the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention (AFSP), to explore what decades of research have taught us about su***de prevention, connection, and helping people through a crisis.

“We have incredible things we are learning about the brain... We know that treatments change brain function for the better. We know that limiting access to lethal means saves lives. But if we don't have the underlying capacity to talk to each other and support each other, then all of that is ineffective.”
