This year, NAMI Lehigh Valley reached individuals and families across our community through free support groups, education, and outreach.

Behind every number is a real person -a family member, a caregiver, or a neighbor who needed help and found it through NAMI.

Giving here makes all the difference for those navigating mental health challenges close to home.

Year-end giving isn’t just about closing out the calendar. It’s about making sure people in our community don’t fall through the cracks.

In the Lehigh Valley, individuals and families continue to face mental health challenges without affordable or accessible support. NAMI Lehigh Valley helps bridge those gaps through free support groups, education, and advocacy, but these programs rely on community support to continue.

Your donation helps ensure these services remain available when people need them most.

We were honored to have Dr. Dennis Geiger, one of NAMI Lehigh Valley's Board Members, join our CIT training for Northampton County corrections officers on Friday, December 5th.

Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs help build safer, more effective responses for individuals experiencing mental health challenges. We’re grateful for leaders like Dr. Geiger who support this mission and help strengthen mental health understanding within our community.

We also want to thank the officers who participated and who are committed to providing compassionate, informed crisis response for the people they serve.

The holiday season and winter months can bring joy but they can also bring stress, loneliness, and emotional fatigue. If this time of year feels heavy, you’re not alone. Many people experience increased anxiety, low mood, or burnout as routines change and daylight shortens.

Here are a few simple self-care practices that can make a real difference:

❄️ Keep a routine when possible. Daily structure supports emotional stability and reduces overwhelm.

❄️ Schedule small moments of rest. Even 10 minutes to breathe, stretch, or step outside can reset the nervous system.

❄️ Limit overcommitting. It’s okay to say no. Protecting your energy is not selfish, it’s necessary.

❄️ Seek connection, not perfection. Meaningful conversations matter far more than perfect gatherings.

❄️ Get light exposure. Short winter days can impact mood. Open blinds, sit near a window, or take a short walk if you’re able.

❄️ Reach out if you’re struggling. Talking to someone you trust, attending a support group, or contacting a mental health professional can help.

At NAMI Lehigh Valley, we know this season is not easy for everyone. Whether you’re supporting a loved one or managing your own mental health, you deserve care, compassion, and community. 💙 You’re not alone.

Supporting someone during a mental health crisis can feel overwhelming and many families aren’t sure what to do in the moment. Here are five steps that can help you respond safely and compassionately:

1. Stay calm and speak softly. Your tone matters more than your words.
2. Give space and avoid sudden movements. This helps lower fear and defensiveness.
3. Listen without arguing or correcting. Validation can reduce tension quickly.
4. Avoid threats (“I’m calling 911 if you don’t…”). Escalation can make the situation worse.
5. Know your local resources. CIT-trained officers and crisis services can respond with understanding.

At NAMI Lehigh Valley, we offer free support and education for families who are navigating these difficult moments. No one should have to figure this out alone.
