⚾💙 This World Series season reminds us of the power of community.
There’s something special about experiencing joy together, cheering for a common cause, and feeling pride in being part of something bigger than ourselves. Whether it's a city rallying around its team or neighbors supporting one another through life's challenges, those moments of connection matter.

At NAMI Southeast Wisconsin, we know that community can be a powerful source of hope, healing, and belonging. When we come together to celebrate, encourage, and support one another, everyone is stronger.

Here's to shared joy, shared pride, the communities that help us thrive and a team we love. Go Milwaukee Brewers! We're behind you!

💙 Mental Health Changes Everything.



That's what mental health support looks like. No one should have to face life's struggles alone.

Milwaukee Brewers we're behind you all the way! Let's gooooo!

CAN YOU FEEL IT, WISCONSIN?

We celebrated World Mental Health Day on Saturday with 700 neighbors and friends. NAMIWalks was a beautiful day to connect- and connection saves lives. Thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, community partners, guests, staff, board, AND all who walked to end the stigma and be in community with one another. We are building the kind of community where everyone belongs. Check out some photos, download them, or add to the album!

Sometimes making a difference starts with something as simple as the words on a T-shirt.

Mike and his wife, Martha, have volunteered with NAMI Southeast Wisconsin for years. And when Mike heads to the gym, he often makes an intentional choice: he wears his "You Are Not Alone" NAMI T-shirt.

Why? Because those four words start conversations.

A high school student opened up to Mike about struggling with her mental health. Later, she told him she was writing her college essay about mental health.

A trainer shared her own mental health struggles.

A friend at the gym confided that years earlier, during an incredibly difficult period in his life, he had considered su***de.

These conversations weren't planned. Mike didn't have all the answers. He simply created an opening and was willing to listen.

Mike recently told us:

"I am humbled that something as simple as words on a shirt have opened the door to some serious conversations about mental health. Hopefully, these random conversations make a difference, a positive difference. I'll never know, and that is OK."

But here's what we believe:

They do make a difference.

Every time we make it safer for someone to say, "I'm struggling," we make a difference.

Every time we listen without judgment, we make a difference.

Every time we help another person feel seen, heard and less alone, we make a difference.

You don't have to be a mental health professional to change someone's day, or perhaps even someone's life.

Sometimes you just need to be like Mike 💚

On September 11, we remember a day that changed our nation forever. We remember the lives lost, the families forever impacted, and the courage of first responders and ordinary people who stepped forward to help strangers in their darkest moments.

One of the enduring lessons of 9/11 is that community matters. In times of crisis, people came together without hesitation, offering support, comfort, and hope to those who were suffering. They showed us that no one should have to face hardship alone.

That same spirit of compassion and connection is at the heart of NAMI's mission. Every day, people facing mental health challenges need a community that listens, supports, and reminds them they are not alone.

When people come together in community, healing and hope become possible.
💙 Community is mental health support

In just one month, we'll come together at NAMIWalks Southeast Wisconsin to show that no one should face a mental health challenge alone.

Every dollar raised helps provide free support groups, educational programs, advocacy, and hope to individuals and families in our community. Your fundraising isn't just helping us reach a goal. It's helping someone find support during one of the hardest moments of their life.

Now is the time to reach out to friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. A small gift can make a big difference.

Being a friend is su***de prevention. Not grand gestures, but the simple act of being there. Showing up. Checking in. Noticing. Listening. Truly seeing someone for who they are and loving them just as they are.

👉Join your friends from NAMI Southeast WI and Grand Avenue Club on Tuesday 9/8 from 11-1 pm for 988 Day at the Milwaukee Public Market for resources, cookies, giveaways and connection with people who care.
