The world gets a little brighter when we treat each other with compassion. Kindness isn’t just a nice idea—it can truly support our mental health. A gentle word, a listening ear, a moment of patience… these small acts can calm anxiety, ease loneliness, and remind someone to hold onto HOPE.

Imagine how much better we’d all feel if kindness wasn’t rare, but routine. ❤️
Let’s make it a daily practice—at home, at work, online, and everywhere we go.

Because you never know whose life you might change with a simple act of care.

WOW! 🤩 We are SO grateful for all of our volunteers! Another new round of passionate volunteers were oriented today! We are looking forward to the amazing things they will do in 2026!

…

Do you have a passion for mental health and breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness? Want to give back, connect with others, or add something meaningful to your life? We would love to have you on our team!

NAMI Southwestern Illinois is currently seeking volunteers who can help during the week with:
✨ Prepping outreach
✨ Community outreach
✨ Supporting events

We’re asking for about 5–10 hours a month, and every bit makes a difference.

Volunteering isn’t just a way to support your community—it’s also good for your own mental health. Staying connected, building purpose, and helping others can boost your mood, reduce stress, and create a sense of belonging. 💙

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please fill out the volunteer application here:

Together, we can make sure no one faces mental health challenges alone. 💚
