💚💚 STERLING, LET’S SEE THAT GREEN! 💚💚

This Friday night, we’re turning GREEN for **Minions for Mental Health Night**, led by Sterling High School’s NAMI On Campus!

💚 Wear green to the game and show your support for mental health awareness!

From the band and cheerleaders to our student-athletes and fans in the stands, we’re so proud to see our schools coming together to spread awareness, fight stigma, and remind our community that mental health matters.

It takes all of us to create a community where everyone feels seen, supported, and understood. Let’s fill the stands with green and show what it looks like when our schools stand together for mental health!

💚 Wear GREEN. Show up. Stand together.

Help us spread the word by sharing this post! Thank you Sterling High School NOC for designing the flyer!

What can NAMI Sauk Area do for you?

Connect you with people who understand.

Our support groups create space to talk, listen, learn, and connect with others who have been there.

You don't have to know anyone before you come.

You don't have to have the right words.

You can simply come as you are.

Yesterday, October 10, was World Mental Health Day, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate the people who help make mental health awareness and advocacy possible right here in our community. 💚

To our NAMI Sauk Area Stigma Busters: thank you for showing up, sharing your stories, starting conversations, and helping break down the stigma surrounding mental health. Whether you’re volunteering at outreach events, supporting our programs, facilitating activities, or simply helping someone feel less alone, you make a difference.

Mental health matters every day, and it takes all of us to create a community where people feel seen, supported, and understood.

We’re so grateful for each of you and the heart you bring to this work. Thank you for being part of the movement. 💚

Someone in our community needs to know:

You don't have to wait until everything feels impossible.

You can reach out because you're struggling.

You can reach out because you're supporting someone you love.

You can reach out because you simply don't know what to do next.

There is no perfect time to ask for support.

You want to connect with people who get it.

You need a little encouragement.

You're looking for a place to belong.

Or you're simply ready to try something new.

You don't have to know exactly what you need before you reach out.
