November is going to be an incredible month of fun, fundraising and education.

--We're excited for the opportunity to contribute mental health information and resources at Imagine NEPA Performing Arts Theater's performances of Beetlejuice JR. Unlike the original film, Beetlejuice JR. centers on Lydia Deetz and her profound grief following her mother's death. Using a blend of dark comedy, rock music, and supernatural fantasy, the show makes heavy themes like loss, isolation, abandonment, and grief—accessible and cathartic for young audiences.

NAMI will participate in a post show talk on Nov. 13 after the 11AM performance. We will also have a resource table available after all performances: Friday evening, Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon.

---We hope you will join us for a valuable conversation on our page Wednesday evening, Nov. 18 at 7PM with a panel of five professionals in the mental health and wellness space, including our board members Kyle Popish, A.S, Behavioral Modification Specialist, CAAC, Problem Gambling Specialist, CRS. NASM- CPT, CNC, BCS and Michael Murphy, and Patrick McDonough- LCSW, CAADC, Joshua Urso- LCSW and Samm Yeakel- M.A.

Please feel free to submit topics or questions you would like answered to our messenger here or [email protected].

---Are you feeling lucky? Get ready for our first ever Purse Bingo to raise funds and hope by supporting our education and advocacy efforts here in Northeast PA. Join us for an afternoon of fun on Saturday, Nov. 21 at The Holiday Inn on Tigue Street in Dunmore from 3 to 6PM.

Which one does your therapist use??

How do you usually start your sessions? 👀

11/05/2026

Some days, showing up feels harder than others. Some days, you’re tired in ways that sleep can’t fix. You’re carrying things nobody sees, fighting battles nobody knows about, and trying to keep going when life feels heavier than usual.

You are allowed to have bad days. You are allowed to cry, to rest, to feel overwhelmed, and to take a step back. You don’t have to be strong every second of every day.

Just don’t give up on yourself.

Take a breath. Start again tomorrow. Celebrate the little victories. Remember how far you’ve come, even when you feel like you’re standing still.

You have survived days you once thought you couldn’t get through 🖤

Mental health is political.

Because access to mental health care is political.

Because insurance coverage is political.

Because poverty, discrimination, racism, sexism, and systemic inequality impact mental health.

Because LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive rights, disability rights, and bodily autonomy impact mental health.

Because the policies and systems people live under shape their safety, stability, and well-being.

And because we cannot talk about mental health without talking about the environments people are expected to survive in.

Mental health isn't happening in a vacuum.

People aren't struggling in isolation from the world around them.

Advocating for mental health means advocating for the conditions that allow people to live, feel safe, access care, and thrive.

You cannot separate individual well-being from the systems that influence it.
