NAMI believes that no one should be subject to practices that can cause or worsen mental health symptoms, and that public policies to protect individuals should be guided by credible, evidence-based research. NAMI supports public policies that facilitate research into the risks and benefits of social media use and policies that mitigate the risk of social media use on mental health, with a focus on youth and young adults.

Find mental health resources tailored for youth and young adults, plus support tools for parents, caregivers, and trusted adults.

This May, join NAMI for Mental Health Awareness Month! Take action, share your story, and help break the stigma around mental health. #MyMentalHealth

To show our support, NAMI participates in several annual mental health awareness events. Participating in a local or national NAMI event is a great way to help increase understanding of the complexity of mental illness.
