Mental Health Awareness Month

Everyone, living with a mental illness or not, needs to prioritize mental health as part of their overall wellness.

During May, NAMI Racine County joins the national movement to raise awareness about mental health. Each year, we offer programs and special events to fight stigma, provide support, educate the public, and advocate for policies that support people with mental illness and their families.

Events & Activities

All programs, services, and events are offered at no cost to participants because of the generous support of our supporters.
If you would like to join them and contribute to our mission, please consider giving in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.
