• Crisis intervention
• Mental health courts
• Community treatment programs
• Peer and family support

—we create pathways toward recovery instead of incarceration.

NAMI Greater Indianapolis is committed to educating our community and supporting policies that expand access to mental health care.

Global events and rising tensions around the world can be difficult to watch, especially for Veterans, Service Members, and their families. News about international conflict or military activity can bring up stress, memories from past deployments, or concern for those currently serving. For many who have worn the uniform and their families, these moments can reopen difficult emotions or reminders of their own experiences.

If you are feeling that weight, you are not alone.

At NAMI Greater Indianapolis, our mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals and families through support, education, and advocacy. That commitment includes making sure Veterans and their families know there is a place in our community where they can find understanding, connection, and support.

💙 Calling HR professionals who want to do more than advise from the sidelines 💙

We’re a hands-on, working board supporting a growing organization focused on improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness. This role goes beyond strategy and oversight. It includes contributing time, expertise, and energy to help strengthen our people practices, policies, and programs.

• Building or improving policies and processes
• Partnering closely with a mission-driven team
• Contributing your HR expertise in a practical, meaningful way
• Supporting mental health advocacy beyond your day job
• Being part of a collaborative, engaged board

This is a volunteer board role, but the impact is real and deeply needed.

The Mindful Me Series by NAMI is designed to meet young people where they are—curious, growing,
and learning to navigate big emotions. Through hands-on, age-appropriate activities, students explore their feelings, understand what they mean, and discover healthy ways to manage them.

Activities are organized by grade level (K–2, 3–5, and 6–8) and are flexible for use in classrooms, after-school programs, or community spaces. Each 15–30-minute activity includes:

• A clear goal and step-by-step instructions

• A simple materials list

• Reflection questions that spark
meaningful conversations

• Adaptation tips for diverse needs
These activities help build resilience, empathy, and self-awareness—laying the foundation for lifelong emotional health.
