Mental Illness Awareness Week begins
In 1990, the U.S. Congress established the first full week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) in recognition of NAMI‘s efforts to raise mental illness awareness. Since 1990, mental health advocates across the country have joined together during the first full week of October in sponsoring many kinds of activities.
This is a perfect opportunity to find out more about Mental Illness at the national NAMI website, or to check out our local NAMI chapter to find out how you can get involved!
