NAMI Southeast Minnesota

As cannabis becomes more available in Minnesota, it’s important to keep having honest, informed conversations about mental health — especially with young people.

The “Speaking of Cannabis” campaign helps parents, caregivers, mentors, and trusted adults better understand how cannabis can affect developing brains, mental health, memory, concentration, and emotional wellbeing. The campaign encourages supportive, nonjudgmental conversations rooted in facts and connection.

Mental health conversations matter. Prevention matters. Connection matters.

A conversation about cannabis is worth having. Informed decisions start with information.

Community partnerships like this make a real difference, and we are so grateful to everyone who showed up, shared a meal, and supported mental health.

Thank you for helping us remind individuals and families across Southeast Minnesota that they are not alone. 💙
