Sometimes you don't need someone to fix it. You need someone who understands.

NAMI Connection Recovery Support Groups are free, confidential, peer-led groups for adults living with mental health conditions. They're led by people with lived experience—people who understand that recovery isn't always a straight line. No judgment. No pressure to have everything figured out. Just a community of people supporting one another.

NAMI Greater Indianapolis offers support for those affected by mental illness through advocacy, free mental health support, online groups & award-winning education

The days are getting shorter. The temperatures are dropping. And maybe your energy is, too.

If you've noticed a change in your mood, sleep, motivation, or desire to be around other people lately, pay attention to it. Seasonal changes can affect how we feel.

Check in with yourself the same way you'd check in with someone you love. 💚
