Advocates are speaking with Senators and Representatives today about mental health reform. Even if you aren't in D.C., you can still make sure our message is heard!

To honor the recent National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in September, NAMI offers resources that can equip everyone to hold a conversation with a friend or loved one who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide. 

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is calling on college and university students to take a StigmaFree pledge  and fight discrimination against mental health conditions as part of a growing nationwide movement.

For more information about how to begin that one conversation and additional resources for National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and more, visit http://www.nami.org/suicideawarenessmonth.

Help us in our efforts to urge Congress to reform mental health care.

Please help us support The Mental Health and Safe Communities Act introduced by Senator John Coryn. 

Last week, the U.S. Senate adjourned for its August recess but not before introducing two major mental health bills. 

This morning, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced the "Mental Health and Safe Communities Act," a bill designed to prevent unnecessary incarceration of people with mental illness and enhance treatment and services for individuals while they are in correctional facilities and following release.
