During Men’s Health Month, we’re talking about something that often goes unspoken: men’s mental health.
Many men are taught to stay silent about their struggles — but mental health challenges affect men at every stage of life.

Seeking help is not weakness.
Talking about mental health is not failure.
Support is available.

A huge thank you to 3RUN7 and ASICS for helping spread awareness about mental health through this year's Blue Jean Mile event!

Events like this do more than bring people together through fitness. They create opportunities for important conversations, reduce stigma, and remind people that they are not alone in their mental health journey.

We are grateful for your commitment to supporting mental health awareness and for using your platform to make a positive impact in our community.

Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, and helped make this event a success. Together, we can continue building a community where mental health is prioritized and everyone feels supported.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave individuals who gave their lives in service to our country. As we reflect, we also recognize that this day can bring up complex emotions—especially for veterans, military families, and those who have experienced loss. During Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s important to hold space for both remembrance and well-being. 💚

If today feels heavy, consider a few gentle ways to care for your mental health:
🕊️ Give yourself permission to feel—grief, gratitude, and everything in between
🕊️ Reach out to someone you trust or spend time with supportive people
🕊️ Take breaks from large gatherings if you need quiet moments
🕊️ Engage in a meaningful ritual, like lighting a candle or reflecting on a memory
🕊️ Practice grounding techniques if emotions feel overwhelming

You are not alone in what you’re feeling. Support is here when you need it.

NAMI Greater Indianapolis is here to provide connection, resources, and a safe space for healing—today and every day.

Every person has a story. Every story has the power to help someone else heal. 💚
This May, students partnered with NAMI Greater Indianapolis to interview our board members and volunteers about their mental health journeys and the impact of NAMI’s mission in our community.
These conversations are honest, vulnerable, hopeful, and deeply human — and they remind us why mental health awareness matters.
As a nonprofit organization, NAMI Greater Indianapolis relies on community support to continue offering free mental health education, advocacy, and support services. If you believe in the importance of these stories and this work, please consider making a donation to support our mission. https://namiindy.org/get-involved/donate/

Mental health struggles can feel isolating.

But millions of people are navigating similar experiences — and support is available.

During Mental Health Awareness Month, NAMI Greater Indianapolis reminds our community:

Seeking help is a sign of strength.💪

Whether through education, peer support, advocacy, or community connection, we are here to walk alongside individuals and families on the path toward recovery.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re turning silence into connection. 💙

Through this special video series, NAMI Greater Indianapolis is sharing the real stories of our board members, volunteers, and community advocates — stories of hope, healing, resilience, and recovery. Our first video features Robert Webster, Board of Directors member, Peer Support Leader, and fierce advocate for mental health services and housing access for underserved communities.

Mental health impacts all of us. When we share our experiences, we reduce stigma and remind others they are not alone.

If these stories move you, inspire you, or help you feel seen, we invite you to support the work NAMI Greater Indianapolis is doing every day in our community. Your donation helps us continue providing free education, advocacy, support groups, and mental health resources to those who need them most.

Donate today and help us continue the conversation. 💚
