This week marks the beginning of Su***de Prevention Month. This September, join us in starting the conversation.

Silence should never be the response to someone's pain. At NAMI, we know that one conversation can save a life. No matter what is going on, help is available. No one has to face this alone.

We'll be sharing resources and spreading awareness about su***de prevention all month long. Learn more at nami.org/SPM.

💜 KICK OFF RECOVERY MONTH WITH US! 💜

Join Champlain Valley Family Center – All Ways to Recovery Center as we kick off Recovery Month with a community BBQ and the opening of our Garden of Hope Pinwheel Project!

📅 Thursday, September 3rd
⏰ 12:00–2:00 PM
📍 All Ways to Recovery Center

What is Recovery Month?
Recovery Month is a time to celebrate the strength, courage, and resilience of people in recovery, recognize the importance of support and community, and remind others that recovery is possible.

🌱 Garden of Hope Pinwheel Project 💜

Our Garden of Hope is a place to recognize the many faces and stories of recovery. Community members can dedicate a purple pinwheel:

💜 In Honor of someone
💜 In Memory of someone
💜 Celebrating My Recovery
💜 Supporting a Loved One
💜 In support of Recovery for Our Community.

Each dedication can include a name or personal message. The dedication card will be attached to the pinwheel and placed in our Garden of Hope at the Outpatient Clinic and Recovery Center.

The pinwheels will serve as a visible reminder that hope exists, recovery is possible, and no one has to walk this journey alone.

🌟 Everyone is welcome! Come enjoy some food, connect with some community partners, celebrate recovery, and help us grow our Garden of Hope.

Love. Hope. Recovery. 💜

A new school year brings new opportunities to learn, grow, and connect.

Alongside reading, writing, and math, children are also learning how to understand emotions, solve problems, and navigate challenges.

Me in Mind by NAMI helps educators, caregivers, and youth-serving professionals support those everyday moments through meaningful conversations and engaging activities.

Caregivers give so much — often showing up day after day with strength, care, and commitment.

At the same time, it can be easy for their own needs to take a back seat.

We created the NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine to offer a space where caregivers can feel heard, supported, and understood by people who have walked this path themselves.

Support doesn’t have to feel complicated or overwhelming. It can begin with a simple conversation — one that meets you where you are.

👩‍🌾👨‍🌾 It’s gardening season! Fertilizers, w**d killers, and even some plants can be poisonous to kids!

Always wear gloves when handling garden chemicals.

Don’t store them near food or drinks.
