The families, neighbors, volunteers, and supporters who show up are the ones who help steer this organization, and your ideas and perspective will guide our direction in the year to come.

Last year, we offered nearly 400 free peer support sessions to our community. Each one is a chance for someone to feel less alone, so let's continue this work together.

How can we help children build resilience in the face of adversity? Our senior program manager, Heather Kendall, joined Maryville Academy and the Stephen Sexton Memorial Foundation for a panel discussion on trauma-informed care with experts in mental health, early childhood development, and counseling from United Stand, Birth to Five Illinois, and the Des Plaines Police Department.

Prevent Child Abuse Illinois' Jennifer Samartano led the conversation, followed by a screening of Resilience: The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope. This was a great opportunity to connect with colleagues working in children's health and development.

The NAMI Illinois State Conference, “Bridging Gaps By Reimagining Community Care,” took place October 23-24 at Benedictine University in Lisle. Last Friday, our team was there with NAMI families, peers, and advocates from across the state.

The conference asked how care can reach the people it’s missing, and that is the question we ask every week at NAMI CCNS, in our support groups, our classes, and our school programs.

We came home with new ideas and a deeper connection to the NAMI network, and we’re already thinking about how to bring them to you.
