Arlington, VA – In honor of Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) on October 6-12, 2019, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and its affiliates across the country are raising awareness and dispelling some of the common myths about mental illness. Too often, people with mental illness are marginalized, isolated and discriminated against because their conditions are misunderstood by the general public. This is why NAMI, as a leading voice, is setting the record straight with this year’s MIAW campaign.
NAMI offers information about mental illness, symptoms and treatment at www.nami.org or through the HelpLine at 800-950-NAMI (6264). Learn more about Mental Illness Awareness Week at www.nami.org/miaw.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness.
