NAMI Maine has started prepping for our annual NAMI Maine Walk and Family Fun Fest!

While we look ahead to a great day of mental health awareness, we wanted to share that we welcome collaboration with other organizations who are looking to share resources.

We wanted to look back at some of the amazing organizations who have come out in the past to support mental wellness.

If you’re looking for resources to browse, we invite you to attend this year’s NAMI Maine Walk, or to check out our resource database on our website. If you’re an organization that is interested in tabling our walk, you can reach out to us via email at [email protected].

Today is National Hydration Day, and we can’t stress enough how important it is to stay hydrated during the hot summer months!

Although our state is able to stay cool for most of the year, it’s important to remember that during the summer months, staying cool and hydrated is a must. Not only does staying hydrated help our physical health, but it can also act as a protective factor for our mental health!

When your body is dehydrated, it can impair your ability to learn and absorb information, slow decision-making, and even cause brain fog.

It is recommended that the average adult drink around 4-6 cups of water a day. But that doesn’t account for how active you may be or how long you may be in the sun. It’s also important to stress the importance of hydration to our youth who may be playing sports or walking in the sun during the day.

NAMI Maine encourages you all to remember to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

Dads are handy and problem-solving, but it’s important to recognize that oftentimes men will mask their deeper emotions in fear of judgment.

This type of defense can harm the mental well-being of all men and create vicious cycles that can act as barriers to mental wellness. As June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, we encourage you to take time today to show the dads in your life that they are valued and loved.

We also encourage you to check out Boys to Men Great Dads Campaign, which highlights dads and dad-like figures that care for the youth of our state. https://www.facebook.com/maineboystomen

NAMI Maine’s Offices will be closed in observance of Juneteenth.

Today marks the day that, in 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, under the command of General Gordon Granger, and read out the Executive Order that all previously enslaved individuals were to be freed.

Juneteenth was made a federal holiday on June 17, 2021, by the Biden administration. However, the holiday has been celebrated since 1866, making it one of the oldest African American holidays in this country’s history. Today, Juneteenth celebrations still draw crowds and feature prayers, music, and food!

NAMI Maine wants to bring attention to the great work of the Tennis for Good group! This group has been a major supporter of mental health support in the state of Maine. They are working to extend this support to the rest of the country to promote mental health support and education.

They plan to hold their 14th annual Tennis Tournament on July 10th-12th in Portland this year, and the funds raised will support NAMI Maine. The tournament will be held at Apex Racket and Fitness, 2445 Congress Street, Portland, ME, 04103!

The tournament will feature both men’s and women’s singles and doubles, men’s 55 and older, and mixed doubles games. There will even be cash prizes for winners and runners-up!

Whether you’re looking to play or just watch, this will be a great day for mental health advocacy, community, and tennis fans.

What an inspiring day at Mount Agamenticus! We were honored to join the Choose To Be Healthy and Youth Resiliency Coalitions for their Annual Meeting last week. The unveiling of their Mattering Cabin was a true highlight! We’re grateful to partner with communities and organizations that are creating opportunities for young people to know they matter.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Nikanos Mediterranean for their work planning and organizing the 2026 US OPA charity golf tournament!

We would also like to thank The Cape Neddick Country Club for their hospitality to host this event.

We were overjoyed to see so many people come out to support NAMI Maine and mental health education and support for the state of Maine. We were also happy to meet and talk with golfers as they made their way along the course. All those who stopped by grabbed some resources and goodies while speaking about the importance of mental health support.

As the month of June is recognized as PTSD awareness month, it is important to bring awareness to the Maine men and women who fought for their home and country. For this week's episode of NAMI Maine Talks, we were able to speak with Executive Director of Vet2Vet Maine, Maggie Catanese.

Vet 2 Vet Maine is a non-profit organization that serves the veteran population of Maine. Matching veterans with other local volunteer veterans, Vet 2 Vet provides support, companionship, and links to services across the state.

Learn about the work that Vet 2 Vet has done to help fight social isolation and loneliness among our veterans. You’ll hear about the process to become a veteran volunteer, stories of success, and even how their organization is able to stretch from Presque Isle to Kittery.
