This month, NAMI Illinois staff, Ashley and Emily, attended Fresh Check Day at Harper College.

Fresh Check Day is a nationally recognized mental health promotion event for colleges that brings students together through interactive booths, activities, and conversations focused on mental health and wellness.

We had a great time visiting the different tables and connecting with the Harper College NAMI On Campus club. NAMI Illinois is proud to help promote Fresh Check Day and support mental health awareness on college campuses.

Visit the Jordan Porco Foundation to learn more about Fresh Check Day and its impact on campus communities.

Mental health conversations at work can be difficult, but they matter more than we think.

“You Can Ask” by NAMI is a free, self-guided workplace training designed to help employees and managers learn how to talk about mental health, support one another, and build a more psychologically safe workplace.

38% of employees say they are not comfortable talking about their mental health at work. By creating a supportive workplace, everyone across the organization benefits.

Take the free training here:

Advocacy in action across Illinois 💚

We’re grateful to stand alongside partners like Community Behavioral Healthcare Association, Illinois Association for Behavioral Health, and Illinois Association of Rehabilitation Facilities at Behavioral Health Advocacy Day.

Together, we helped elevate the needs of communities across the state while strengthening the collective voice for mental health.

We were proud to see strong representation from our NAMI Illinois Alliance, including NAMI Metro Suburban, NAMI of McHenry County, NAMI Northwest Suburbs Chicago, NAMI Southwestern Illinois, NAMI Tri-County, and NAMI West Central Illinois, along with growing efforts in Kankakee, Central Illinois, and Springfield.

Advocacy moves systems forward. It helps ensure every individual and family can access the mental health support they deserve.
