Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax and have a little fun!

We took a well-deserved break from the office this week to recharge our batteries. This quarter's team activity was bowling at Schwoegler's Park Towne Lanes.

No emails, no deadlines, just laughs and fun. As a mental health organization, it's important for us to priorize our own mental wellbeing and combat burnout.

And in case you are wondering, our Peer Support Team (Sharon and Oleka) crushed the competition and got the most points.🏆

NATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE MONTH 2026: PEOPLE NEED HELP, NOT HANDCUFFS.

About two million times each year, people with serious mental illness are booked into jails. Roughly two in five people who are incarcerated have a history of mental illness, about double the rate of the general U.S. population.

✨YOUTH IN ACTION✨

Recently, we have been fortunate enough to have young members in our community take an active interest in the work we do and raise funds for our organization.

Paige is a local musician and mental health advocate who donated the proceeds from her most recent single to NAMI Dane County.

Zaida undertook a 4-month school project wherein she painted custom rocks for people with inspirational messages to spread mental health awareness and donated the proceeds to NAMI Dane County.

We are so grateful for Paige and Zaida and the support for the work we do. You're never too young to make a difference in the world.💚
