Happy Earth Day! 🌎💚 Today is a reminder that caring for our Earth and caring for our minds can go hand in hand. Whether it’s spending time outside, planting something new, or simply taking a moment to pause and breathe, small acts of care can make a difference for both our planet and ourselves.

As National Volunteer Month continues, this week we are highlighting the volunteers who facilitate our NAMI Basics On Demand+ discussion groups!

NAMI Basics On Demand+ is an on-demand mental health education course for parents or others who provide care for youth who are experiencing mental health challenges. When we offer this program at NAMI Fox Valley, it is accompanied by three virtual discussion groups for participants to connect and share with one another. Those discussions are facilitated by volunteers who are passionate about helping to ensure that families have the tools they need to navigate a young one's mental health journey.

THANK YOU, NAMI Basics On Demand+ facilitators, for all you do and the huge difference that you make! 🩵

These 8-session courses are taught by volunteers, each of whom is deeply committed to ensuring that participants are equipped with information, tools, and resources to help them navigate their family's mental health journey.

A number of NAMI Fox Valley staff and volunteers attended NAMI Wisconsin’s annual conference this Friday and Saturday in Appleton, where we had the privilege of learning from experts about a wide variety of topics related to mental health and mental illness. Thank you, NAMI WI, for another great conference!!

🎉 🎊 We also were thrilled to cheer on NAMI FV volunteers Helene and Jerry Iverson as NAMI WI presented them with an Iris Award for “Outstanding Contribution to NAMI Wisconsin”. Along with their work teaching Family-to-Family courses and more here at NAMI FV, Helene and Jerry also have served for many years as state trainers, training new Family-to-Family instructors across Wisconsin. Their dedication has had far-reaching impacts for families who have a loved one living with mental illness. We were overjoyed to see them receive this well-deserved recognition! Congratulations, Helene and Jerry!! 🎊🎉
