Holy City Bridge Angels is launching volunteer training to equip everyday community members across the Lowcountry with the tools to recognize signs of distress, read concerning body language, and step in with safe, compassionate care.

When someone is in crisis, a single moment of connection can make all the difference. Learn how to be that presence for our community.

Science continues to shape the future of mental health care. 🧠💚

Throughout NAMI’s history, collaboration with researchers, medical professionals, and people with lived experience has helped advance our understanding of mental health and improve approaches to treatment and care.

Today, NAMI continues that work through evidence-based programs, its Science Advisory Council, partnerships across disciplines, and efforts to establish responsible standards for AI in mental health.

By keeping lived experience at the heart of research and innovation, we can continue moving toward better understanding, better resources, and better mental health care for all.

Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) is a condition that causes involuntary, repetitive movements and can develop as a side effect of certain medications used to treat mental health conditions.

Recognizing the signs and starting the conversation can make a difference. If you or someone you care about is experiencing unusual or uncontrollable movements, consider speaking with a healthcare provider.

As a recipient of a TD Awareness Grant, NAMI Charleston is proud to continue sharing resources and helping our community learn more about TD. 💚

Awareness starts with education.

Did you catch our October Article? Featuring Bretta Grant, a mental health advocate, speaker, and NAMI Presenter who brings more than two decades of lived experience navigating schizophrenia, hospitalization, family challenges and financial hardship.

Her perspective is distinctive because she speaks not only about mental health, but about what it takes to build a meaningful life while living with a mental health condition. Having experienced 16 hospitalizations, significant financial setbacks, divorce, motherhood, and incarceration—and ultimately earning two college degrees—Bretta offers an honest, multidimensional perspective on resilience, recovery, self-advocacy, and hope.

As a mental health documentary participant and community speaker, Bretta uses her story to challenge stigma and encourage more open conversations about mental wellness.

She brings something that cannot be learned solely from a textbook: the perspective of someone who has lived the journey and continues to thrive beyond the diagnosis."
