Even during challenging times, a gratitude practice can help maintain our mental health.

We asked what you were grateful for with a 30-Second Survey. Here is a selection of answers.

“I am grateful for love, family, second chances and my life.”

“The support of friends and family.”

“I’m grateful that my son with mental illness is alive.”

“I am grateful for nurses and doctors. Up until about three weeks ago, this was not as high on my list. But now that my dad is off a ventilator and on the slow road to recovery, I see clearly how hard they are working to combat this horrible virus.”

“I’m extremely thankful for my family. Since being home for 9 months now, we have adapted to one another in ways I never could have imagined. We are able to spend more time to together, time that I had always wished I had before the pandemic, time that I will never get back, time that I am so glad I have to spend with my family.”

“I am incredibly grateful to my NAMI family for such a wonderful source of support for me and my family in what turned out to be a very rough year.”

“I am grateful for my friends, family, and NAMI community for helping me feel supported and connected during these especially challenging times. Also: let’s hear it for the technology that helps us stay virtually connected!”

Press and Media

Welcome to the NAMI Newsroom! Every day, the media publishes stories about mental health. As a leading voice in the mental health community, NAMI can help journalists and thought leaders shape their messages by providing knowledgeable spokespeople, statistics and personal stories of people living with mental illness.

Sharing your personal journey takes strength:

” NAMI has had a very positive impact on the way I live. The Peer-to-Peer course gave me a very good understanding of my mental illness. It helped me with the way I live my life now. Because of this class, I was able to get over the ‘bump in the road.’ I now have the courage to get a job and return to the workforce.”

– An individual living with Depression and Panic Attacks

“NAMI is Wonderful!! Through the Family to Family class, I’ve learned so much – it’s helped me understand my son and his thoughts and behaviors . I have met some great people who truly understand what I’m going through.”

– A mother with a 23 year old living with Schizophrenia

“NAMI has had a very positive impact on the way I live. The Peer-to-Peer course gave me a very good understanding of my mental illness. It helped me with the way I live my life now. Because of this class, I was able to get over the ‘bump in the road.’ I now have the courage to get a job and return to the workforce.”

– An individual living with Depression and Panic Attacks

“Nami Solano reminded me that I am not alone.”

“The Connection group is amazing for my journey and gives me hope.”

It’s OK to not be OK right now.
