Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) Toolkit - NAMI

This toolkit, created by NAMI National, is designed to support Mental Illness Awareness Week and World Mental Health Day by providing resources for community engagement and mental health advocacy. The focus is on the theme "Building Community: Supporting Mental Well-being Together," which emphasizes the importance of compassion, connection, and grassroots action. The toolkit includes key messages, fast facts, advocacy guidance, and social media assets to help raise awareness and fight stigma around mental health. It highlights the prevalence of mental health conditions in the U.S., noting that over one in five adults experience mental illness annually. Special attention is given to culturally tailored programs and support groups that foster inclusion and equity. The document encourages individuals and organizations to use these resources to promote mental health, support those affected, and advocate for improved care and crisis response.
