The holiday season can bring a mix of emotions: joy, reflection, and sometimes, added stress. You do not have to face it alone.

NAMI Santa Fe offers free, confidential support groups designed to help you connect with others who understand. Whether you’re living with a mental health condition or supporting a loved one, our groups provide a safe space for listening, sharing, and healing.

Each session is led by trained facilitators with lived experience who understand the challenges and triumphs of mental health recovery. Together, we learn, listen, and lift one another up.

This season, give yourself the gift of connection and understanding.

Schizoaffective disorder can feel overwhelming, but no one has to face it alone. It’s a condition that combines symptoms of schizophrenia and a mood disorder, like depression or bipolar disorder and it affects how a person thinks, feels, and experiences the world.

Common symptoms may include:
— Hallucinations or delusions
— Disorganised thinking
— Periods of depression or mania
— Shifts in energy, mood, or daily function

At NAMI, we believe recovery is possible with the right support. Through education, therapy, medication, and connection with peers who understand, individuals living with schizoaffective disorder can find stability, strength, and hope.

You are not alone and help is here.

Practicing gratitude can boost your mental health and overall well-being.

Studies show that regularly expressing gratitude can:

☑️ Reduce stress and anxiety
☑️ Improve sleep quality
☑️ Strengthen relationships
☑️ Increase resilience and positivity

Try keeping a gratitude journal or simply take a few minutes each day to reflect on what you’re thankful for.

Small moments of appreciation can make a big difference.

Heart Berries: A Memoir by Terese Marie Mailhot offers a raw, powerful reflection on identity, trauma, resilience, and healing.

Mailhot, a Native author from the Seabird Island Band and a former student of the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) right here in Santa Fe, shares her journey through mental illness, love, and self-discovery with unflinching honesty.

Her words remind us that healing is never linear but it is always possible.
