Today, NAMI across the country is UNITED in HOPE.

On World Mental Health Day, we join people around the globe in raising awareness, challenging stigma, and reminding one another of something incredibly important:

You Are Not Alone.

Mental illness does not discriminate. It touches families, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and communities everywhere.

And while we may not always see what someone is experiencing, we can choose to make the world a little kinder, a little more understanding, and a lot more accepting.

At NAMI Delaware, we believe that every story matters and deserves to be heard, and every person deserves support.

Today, let's celebrate the courage it takes to speak up, the strength it takes to seek help, and the compassion it takes to stand beside someone.

Hope starts with us. And together, we can change the conversation.

At NAMI Delaware, we know that storytelling can help reduce stigma, build understanding, and remind people that they are not alone. That is why we are pleased to share an upcoming event from the MVRP Foundation, a community partner whose work supports young artists, mental health programs, and communities of acceptance and compassion.

The Changing Minds Young Filmmaker Festival features powerful short films created by filmmakers ages 15–25 who explore mental health with honesty, humor, insight, and compassion. By lifting up young people’s voices and lived experiences, these films encourage meaningful conversations about youth mental health.

Thursday, October 15
Film begins at 5:30 p.m.
Cinema Art Theater in Lewes

Stay after the screening for a Q&A discussion and reception, plus raffles, giveaways, and a cash bar.

Tickets:
$25 general admission
$5 for students

Learn more and purchase tickets:
https://cinemaarttheater.eventive.org/films/6a844e9e84ef515d280bde1e

Proceeds support the MVRP Foundation’s efforts to celebrate young adult artists, strengthen mental health programs, expand access to essential mental health services in Sussex County, and create communities rooted in acceptance and compassion.
