Working to reduce stigma connected to mental illness and su***de through mental health education

NRCI strives to educate people on mental health issues and eradicate the stigma associated with these issues through our annual conference and education/outreach projects, trainings and presentations.

September is Su***de Prevention Month. Recognizing the warning signs of su***de can help us respond sooner. Sign up for QPR training to learn more about how to support those who are experiencing suicidal ideation (link in bio!). Let’s continue learning together.

Mental Health First Aid training equips participants with the knowledge and skills to recognize signs of mental health and substance use challenges, offer support, and connect individuals with appropriate resources.

Just like traditional first aid prepares individuals to respond to physical health emergencies, Mental Health First Aid helps individuals build confidence to support colleagues, friends, and communities when they need it most.

If you’d like to offer Mental Health First Aid to your students or staff, contact us today (link in bio!).

Remember that setting healthy boundaries is an important part of self-care.

Graduate school is full of opportunities, but protecting your time, being realistic about your commitments, and making space for rest can help you avoid burnout.

Boundaries aren’t about doing less. They’re about making room for what matters most. What boundaries will you set for yourself this semester?

The start of a new semester is just around the corner — that makes now a great time to establish routines to support you before classes begin.

Planning your schedule, setting realistic goals, protecting time for rest, and making self-care a priority can help you feel more prepared and reduce stress as the semester gets underway.

What self-care routines are you putting in place before the new school year begins?

Sometimes the most meaningful support begins with a simple question: “How are you doing?”

Checking in with a friend, colleague, family member, or neighbor may seem like a small act, but genuine connection can help reduce isolation and remind someone they are not alone. This week, consider reaching out to someone you’ve been thinking about. One conversation can make a difference.

We often start the year with mental health goals — more balance, less stress, better boundaries, more rest. But reality doesn’t always move in a straight line.

Some days you stick to your routines, and other days you’re just getting through. Progress isn’t about being perfect — it’s about noticing what you need and adjusting along the way.

07/28/2026

Are you interested in scheduling QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Training for Su***de Prevention Awareness Month in September? The training teaches simple, evidence-informed steps anyone can use to help save a life, including questioning someone who may be struggling, persuading them to seek help, and referring them to appropriate resources

We encourage individuals, workplaces, schools, and community groups to schedule QPR training with our team this September. Contact us to learn more at the link in bio!

Summer can be an overwhelming time for caregivers. If you’re a parent or caregiver navigating this season, your mental health matters, too. Support can include asking for help, finding small moments of rest, lowering expectations for perfect days, and staying connected to your own needs. Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your family.

July, which is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, is a time to shine a light on the unique mental health challenges faced by racial and ethnic minority communities. In the United States, mental health conditions affect people across all backgrounds, but access to care is not equal. This month, we encourage individuals to support expanding access to culturally competent care.
