What a beautiful day at the Sun River Health Amenia Fall Fest! πŸ‚πŸ’š

Ending the Silence was at Marlboro High School! πŸ’š

This presentation was extra special because it was Magnolia's very first time presenting as our young adult speaker, and Magnolia did an amazing job! We love seeing our team grow and watching new voices step up to share their stories.

A heartfelt thank you to social worker Meghan McMahon-Vigeant and health teacher Amanda Creeden for welcoming us and for their commitment to student mental health.

Stigma is one of the biggest reasons young people stay silent when they're struggling. When we talk openly about mental health, we show students that what they're feeling is real, that they are not alone, and that asking for help is a sign of strength. Ending the stigma starts with conversations like these.

Ending the Silence came to Wallkill High School! πŸ’š

This was a special one: it was our young adult presenter's very first time sharing his story, and he did a wonderful job. His courage and honesty connected with students in a way that only lived experience can. We are so proud to have him on our team!

A big thank you to Rory Boice for welcoming us into the classroom and making mental health a priority for students.

Ending the Silence teaches students the warning signs of mental health conditions, how to talk about what they're feeling, and how to get help for themselves or a friend. When we talk openly about mental health, we break down stigma and let young people know that reaching out is a sign of strength.

Thanks to everyone who joined us this past Sunday at The Moviehouse in Millerton for the screening of "No One Cares About Crazy People."

The panel discussion afterward opened up so many important questions and honest conversations. A heartfelt thank you to our panelists: director and producer Gail Freedman, executive producer CaroleenFeeney, and Jo Ann Brown, Executive Director of NAMI Mid-Hudson, for sharing their insight and their hearts. And a big thank you to Jeremy, manager of The Moviehouse, for being such a wonderful host!

Conversations like this are how we break the silence around mental illness, and we are grateful to everyone who was part of it!

We had a great time at the SUNY New Paltz Mental Health Fair! πŸ’š Our table was well attended by our intern Grace, and two new young adult presenters Reem and Magnolia!

A special thank you to Jaclyn Cirello for having NAMI Mid-Hudson and for all the work that went into bringing this event together for students.

Young people have a powerful role to play in mental health. When students talk openly, look out for their friends, and know where to turn for support, they help break down stigma for their whole generation. It was inspiring to meet so many students who care about their own well-being and each other's.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat, ask questions, and pick up resources. Remember: it's okay to not be okay, and you never have to go through it alone.

Today is World Mental Health Day! πŸ’šπŸ’œ

World Mental Health Day was first observed on October 10, 1992, started by the World Federation for Mental Health. More than 30 years later, it's marked around the world, with support from the World Health Organization, as a day to raise awareness, push back against stigma, and remind everyone that mental health is part of overall health.

At NAMI Mid-Hudson, this is our work every day. Through Ending the Silence presentations in local schools, support groups, Family-to-Family classes, and Mental Health First Aid training, we help individuals and families across Dutchess and Ulster Counties find education, support, and hope.

Today, take a moment to check in on yourself and the people you care about. A simple conversation can make a big difference.
