Providing Support, Education, and Advocacy to all those affected by mental illness.

Sometimes “Are you okay?” is a hard question to answer. 🫶🏼

And sometimes the people who need support the most aren’t sure how to ask for it.

Here are 5 ways to check in on someone you love that can make starting the conversation a little easier:

💚 “You’ve been on my mind lately. How have you been feeling?”

💚 “Want to grab coffee or spend some time together this week?”

💚 “You don’t have to talk about anything, but I’m here if you want to.”

💚 “Is there something I can take off your plate right now?”

💚 “Would it be okay if I checked in with you again tomorrow?”

You don’t need the perfect words to show someone you care. Sometimes simply showing up and reminding them they’re not alone can mean so much.

Save this for the next time you don’t know what to say, or share it with someone who might need the reminder. ✨

An evening of remembrance, reflection, and hope. 🕯️💙

On Tuesday, we gathered for NAMI Southern Arizona’s Annual Candlelight Vigil in recognition of Mental Illness Awareness Week. Together, we honored those we’ve lost, held space for those navigating mental illness, and listened to powerful stories of recovery, resilience, and hope.

Seeing so many new faces alongside familiar ones made this evening even more meaningful. To everyone who joined us, shared their story, or simply came to be present, thank you for being part of such a beautiful night.

Mental health support should be accessible to every community.

NAMI works across the country to expand mental health education, advocacy, and support through programs designed to reach people from different backgrounds, cultures, and communities.

Here in Southern Arizona, we know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health. Building trust, listening to lived experiences, meeting people where they are, and creating meaningful community connections are all part of breaking down barriers to support.

NAMI Southern Arizona is proud to be part of a nationwide network working toward a future where everyone has access to mental health information, resources, and hope.

Mental health care continues to evolve—and lived experience has an important role in shaping what comes next.

For nearly 50 years, NAMI has advocated for research into mental health conditions and for approaches to care that listen to the people and families directly impacted by mental illness.

At NAMI Southern Arizona, we see the importance of that work right here in our own community. Better research, greater understanding, reduced stigma, and stronger connections to care can change lives.

As Mental Illness Awareness Week continues, we’re celebrating the progress that has been made while recognizing there is still more work ahead.

Mental Illness Awareness Week begins today. 💙

NAMI was founded to help individuals and families navigating serious mental illness build better lives. Here in Southern Arizona, that mission continues through education, support, advocacy, resources, and—just as importantly—connection.

At NAMI Southern Arizona, we believe lived experience matters. The stories of individuals and families in our community help challenge stigma, create understanding, and remind others that hope is possible.

This week, we’re joining NAMI organizations across the country in Turning Science Into Hope and highlighting the work being done to build a future where everyone affected by mental illness can find help, hope, and community.

You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to know exactly what comes next. And you don’t have to navigate mental health challenges alone. 💚

NAMI Southern Arizona is here with free support, education, resources, and a community that understands. Whether you’re navigating your own mental health or supporting someone you love, there is a place for you here.

💚 You are not alone.

March 2024 changed a family forever.

And this November, we walk again. ❤️

On Sunday, November 22, we’ll come together for the 3rd Annual Diego Alejandro Zell Memorial 5K Run/Walk — a day to remember Diego, honor the loved ones we carry with us, and stand beside families who have lost someone far too soon.

This year, we invite you to make every step personal.

Run or walk for a child. For a parent. For a spouse, sibling, family member, or friend. For someone whose life touched yours and will never be forgotten.

Participants will have the opportunity to carry the name of someone they love throughout the 5K — turning every step into an expression of love, remembrance, and hope.

Diego’s life mattered. His story matters. And the lives of those we have lost will always matter.

His story also reminds us why conversations around mental health matter — especially for our boys and men. Why creating space to feel, to talk, to ask for help, and to be met with compassion matters.

Last year, more than 60 people registered and showed up to walk, run, remember, and raise awareness. Now, registration for year THREE officially begins. 🫶

📅 Sunday, November 22, 2026
📍 University of Arizona Mall Stage
⏰ Registration begins at 7 AM | Program begins at 8 AM

There is no registration fee. Your donation is your registration and includes your tracking bib. When donating, please include in the comments whether you’ll be running or walking.

Donations support Diego’s mom, Alejandra Zell, and her Do It Your Way campaign as she continues sharing her son’s story, raising awareness, and bringing people together in remembrance of the lives we’ve lost.

🔗 Registration + donation link is in our bio.

Run for Diego.
Walk for someone you love.
Remember. Honor. Love. ❤️

In loving memory of Diego Alejandro Zell. Forever remembered. Forever loved.

You don’t have to have all the answers to make a difference. Sometimes support looks like listening.

Sometimes it’s showing up. Sometimes it’s simply helping someone realize that the support they’ve been looking for may be closer than they think. 💚

That’s what community is about—and it’s what NAMI Southern Arizona works to build every day.

Whether you walk with us, volunteer, attend an event, share our resources, or simply help start the conversation, there’s a place for you here. Visit the link in our bio to learn more and get involved.
