Our office will be closed tomorrow, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth.

Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and serves as a reminder of the ongoing pursuit of freedom, equity, and justice.

We honor the resilience, contributions, and history of Black communities today and every day.

Registration is open for our upcoming webinar, Empowered Care: Understanding Your Rights in Behavioral Health!

Join us on Thursday, June 25th at 12 pm via Zoom to learn more about the rights of those receiving behavioral health services in Cuyahoga County.

Before we head into the weekend, we wanted to share a few photos from our Annual Meeting & Awards Ceremony.

Thank you to everyone who joined us as we celebrated another year of advancing mental health awareness, support, and advocacy across our community. It was a special evening spent recognizing our incredible honorees and the many people who make this work possible.

We're so grateful for your support and are excited for what's ahead. Enjoy the photos! 📸✨

June is Men's Mental Health Month 💙

Mental health challenges affect millions of men each year, yet many continue to suffer in silence.

Men are nearly four times more likely to die by su***de than women, highlighting the importance of breaking stigma and encouraging conversations around mental health.

Checking in on a friend, family member, coworker, or loved one can make a difference.

What's one way you support the men in your life?

Help us launch the 2026 NAMIWalks Greater Cleveland season with energy, inspiration, and community! Our theme - Together, We Are NAMIWalks - celebrates the collective strength of individuals, families, and communities who step forward to support mental health and remind others that they are not alone.
Together, we are NAMI — a movement of hope, support, and advocacy.
Whether you're a longtime supporter or joining us for the first time, we want you with us. Will you “be NAMIWalks”? Let’s kick off our strongest season yet! Register now! https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/xa2r5e7
