Mental Illness Awareness Week October 2-8
During the first full week of October, NAMI and participants across the country are raising awareness of mental illness. Each year we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for equal care. Each year, the movement grows stronger.
To help spread the word, NAMI's #MIAW pages provide a variety of resources to download, such as flyers, posters and social media graphics. NAMI's resource toolkit contains press releases and other templates to customize within your communities. We believe that mental health issues are important to address year-round, but highlighting them during #MIAW provides a time for people to come together and display the passion and strength of those working to improve the lives of the tens of millions of Americans affected by mental illness.
Show-Off Your Lime Green!
Lime green is building momentum as the national color for mental health awareness. Wearing the lime green ribbon is a great way to open an honest dialogue with friends, family, classmates and co-workers about mental health. And it's an easy way to show your support. It's also easy to order! Get your lime green ribbon, wristband or other Each Mind Matters items at their online shop.
Or wear it online by adding
this twibbon to
your profile on social media.

Provider Education 4-Hour Education Seminar Now Available
NAMI Provider Education is a free 5-week course that presents a penetrating, subjective view of family and consumer experiences with serious mental illness to line staff at public agencies who work directly with people experiencing severe and persistent mental illnesses. The course helps providers realize the challenges that families and consumers face and appreciate the courage and persistence it takes to live with and recover from mental illness.
NAMI is excited to announce that it is now offering the Provider Education course in a 4-hour seminar format instead of the 5-week course, which is based on the NAMI Provider curriculum. The 5-week course is still a valid option, but you now have access to another format. The seminar is presented using Power Point slides, lecture, handouts and interactive exercises. The seminar is taught by a teaching team that includes one family member, one person in recovery and one mental health professional, who is also affected by mental illness. This wonderful opportunity will help affiliates deliver this program to mental health providers.
The NAMI Provider seminar must be presented by participants that have successfully completed the teacher training for the full program (1.5 days). Additional webinar training is required of all NAMI Provider teachers who wish to offer the seminar.
For any questions, please contact Erik Villalobos, Education Coordinator at
erik@namica.org
. For more information about the new seminar, you can review the following documents:

Reporting NAMI Education Program Data
Reporting the data collected from classes, support groups and trainings to the NAMI Data Collection Site is extremely important. Reporting helps NAMI California provide more data to obtain funding so that we can provide trainings for NAMI's Signature Programs. We understand that navigating the reporting site can be challenging, but we are here to help if any assistance is needed with navigating the Data Collection Site. If you have any questions or need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact NAMI California at (916) 567-0163.
