Tonight's the night!

Mental health and substance use needs continue to grow, and many individuals face challenges accessing support before reaching a crisis or while navigating recovery.

Join our community Partner, Thrive Counseling Center, for their February Thrive Talk, “Closing the Gaps: The Power of Peer Support in Mental Health and Recovery.”

This in-person session will explore how peer support – led by individuals with lived experience – complements clinical care, reduces hospitalizations, and helps fill critical gaps in community-based systems.

We’re proud to support this event, where NAMI Metro Suburban staff member, Jason Allington, will share his lived and professional insights

Your time can make a meaningful impact on someone’s life.

At NAMI Metro Suburban, volunteers are at the heart of everything we do and sharing your time is one of the most meaningful ways to support free mental health services in our community.

Volunteering helps:
• Expand access to mental health education and support
• Strengthen programs for individuals and families
• Build a more connected, compassionate community
• Make sure no one has to navigate mental health challenges alone

From a few hours a month to ongoing involvement, your time truly makes a difference.
