💙✨💬 You’re invited to our October Ask the Expert speaker meeting!

Join us on Thursday, October 29th, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm for an informative conversation titled “Understanding OCD: What It Is, What It Isn’t, and How to Help.”

This month, we’re joined by Blaise Amendolace, Psy.D., a Licensed Psychologist in Coral Springs, Florida, who specializes in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety in teens, young adults, and families.

Dr. Amendolace will explore what OCD really looks like, how obsessions and compulsions work, and how families and loved ones can offer support without unintentionally reinforcing the OCD cycle. He will also discuss evidence-based treatment approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and where to find additional resources and support.

This event is free and open to all, whether you’re looking to learn more about OCD, support a loved one, or better understand the experiences of individuals and families navigating this condition.

💚✨ Honoring Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Today, we honor the rich histories, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous communities. It’s also an opportunity to recognize the lasting impacts of colonization and celebrate the strength, resilience, and voices of Indigenous peoples.

At NAMI Miami-Dade, we recognize the importance of culturally informed mental health care that respects the experiences, traditions, and needs of Indigenous communities. Let’s continue listening, learning, and advocating for equitable access to mental health resources and support for all.

Please note: NAMI Miami-Dade will close at 1:00 pm today, Monday, October 12, in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support available 24/7.

Wishing everyone a meaningful Indigenous Peoples’ Day. ✨💚

💙✨💚 Today is World Mental Health Day.

This year’s theme, “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change,” highlights the importance of listening to people with lived experience of mental health conditions and recognizing their experiences as a valuable form of expertise.

Too often, people are asked to share their stories without being included in the decisions that affect their lives. Meaningful change means going beyond listening. It means creating opportunities for people with lived experience to shape mental health services, influence policies, challenge stigma, and help build systems that reflect their needs.

At NAMI Miami-Dade, we value lived experience in the connections we build through our education, support, and advocacy programs. It’s also why we use storytelling to encourage understanding and create space for conversations about mental health.

Today, we’re celebrating World Mental Health Day with Reel Minds, our Mental Health Film Festival, featuring eight short films that explore mental health, resilience, recovery, and the diverse experiences that shape us. By bringing these stories to the big screen and creating opportunities for conversation, we hope to encourage greater understanding and remind our community that every lived experience deserves to be heard.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s move from listening to action. Let’s make space for people to share their experiences and, most importantly, ensure their voices help shape the decisions that affect their lives.

Because mental health care should be built with people, not just for them. 💚✨💙
