Did you know that it only takes two people to help start a NAMI support group?

Thanks to a grant from Intermountain Healthcare, NAMI Montana is working to expand peer-led support groups into at least five new rural communities, bringing mental health support closer to home.

NAMI Montana can help with facilitator training, resources, and connections to your nearest NAMI affiliate.

If you live in a rural Montana community and have ever thought, “Someone should start something like this here,” we want to hear from you.

OCD treatment research is moving beyond one basic question: “Does treatment work?”

Researchers are also asking who responds, who needs additional support, how treatment can be improved, and what may help people who don’t respond to first-line approaches.

In research highlighted by the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, adding Exposure and Response Prevention therapy for people already taking an SRI produced a therapeutic response in about two-thirds of participants over 17 sessions, with about one-third reporting minimal symptoms post-trial.

Research like this helps move mental health care toward better, more individualized options.

Today is World Mental Health Day. 🌍

Across countries, cultures, and communities, mental health is something every person has in common.

The experiences may look different. The resources available may look different. But understanding, connection, support, and access to quality care matter everywhere.

A global conversation can start with local action.

A promising research finding doesn’t move straight from a lab into your doctor’s office. 🧪

Mental health research is a process: ask a question, test it, build and replicate the evidence, evaluate promising approaches in clinical trials, and eventually use the larger body of evidence to inform clinical care.

That process can take years. And not every early finding holds up.

But each step helps researchers better understand mental illness and work toward better ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent it.

That’s why research matters and why NAMI Montana is committing to promoting and amplifying the best research in the field. 🔬

Mental Illness Awareness Week exists in large part because of NAMI’s advocacy.

In 1990, Congress established the first full week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week in recognition of NAMI’s efforts to raise awareness and increase public understanding of mental illness.

More than 35 years later, communities across the country still use this week to educate, fight stigma, strengthen support, and remind people they are not alone.

This year’s NAMI theme is “Building Community: Supporting Mental Well-being Together.”

Across our state of Montana, we have free mental health resources and community support groups through our local affiliates.

About 1 in 300 people worldwide live with schizophrenia.

That number is only the starting point.

Schizophrenia can affect perception, thinking, behavior, relationships, school, work, and other areas of life. Experiences vary widely, and effective treatment and support options exist.

According to the World Health Organization, at least one in three people with schizophrenia can fully recover.

Understanding the condition beyond stereotypes is one way we can reduce stigma.
