NAMI Louisville believes that access to mental health should be accessible for everyone because mental health does not discriminate.

-Mental Illness Rates: About 22% of Hispanic/ Latino Individuals have a mental illness.

-Treatment Disparities: Only 36% of Hispanic/ Latinos received mental health services.

We see the need for our programs to expand and are asking you to join us! NAMI Louisville prides our support groups in relatability, understanding and shared experiences and we understand that language barriers are real and stop others from getting the support they need and we want to find ways to improve these odds.

Access to care matters. Systems matter. Policy matters. And so does community. The way we check in. The way we listen. The way we show up for one another. When we show up for each other, we make care possible.

The AFSP Kentucky Advocacy Action Day will bring together passionate volunteers to advocate for state policy changes that work to prevent su***de and support mental health.

Advocates in attendance will learn the basics of effective advocacy, be briefed on AFSP’s priority policy issues for our state, and be guided in how to deliver a quick, meaningful advocacy “ask” to inspire action. Advocates are encouraged to meet with state public officials as part of the event, in small groups, to:

-Share why su***de prevention is important to YOU and to your community
- Educate them about the work being done in your community to prevent su***de
- Offer AFSP as a leading resource on su***de prevention
- Ask them to TAKE ACTION to support AFSP’s policy priorities and prevent su***de

We hope you’ll join us for this powerful and inspiring event! Let’s work together to save lives and bring hope to those affected by su***de.
