Girl Scouts aren't just about the cookies, although they are super yummy!
Girl Scouting in the United States of America began on this day, March 12, 1912, when Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scout troop meeting. At this first troop meeting in Savannah, Georgia, there were 18 girls present. For these girls, Juliette Gordon Low organized enrichment programs, service projects, and outdoor activities and adventures. Since the time of the first meeting, Girl Scouts has grown to over 3.7 million members.

Too often, conversations about mental illness are shaped by myths instead of facts.

In this episode of Hope Starts With Us, NAMI Chief Advocacy Officer, Hannah Wesolowski, is joined by Shannon Scully, Director of Criminal Justice Policy and Initiatives, to talk about the harmful misconceptions that link mental illness with violence—anda why those beliefs can prevent people from getting the help they need.

As Shannon shares:

“Mental illness is not an indicator for violence and it is definitely not an indicator for violent crime.”

In reality, people living with mental health conditions are more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators. This conversation explores why understanding that truth matters—and how advocacy can help ensure people experiencing mental health crises receive care and support instead of punishment.
