MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS. We know that 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year, 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and suicide remains the 2nd leading cause of death among youth aged 10-14. Support is critical to recovery, and for more than 30 years, NAMI Sarasota and Manatee Counties has provided peer-led mental health support and education programs to individuals and families throughout our community. We focus daily on our mission to improve the lives of individuals, families, and caregivers on their journey to mental wellness.
NAMI SERVES MORE THAN 10,000 INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES each year through our young adult and adult support groups and education classes, navigation for families with children (0-25), school-based mental health education, and drop-in wellness services for adults. Your support enables us to continue to offer ALL programs AT NO COST for participants.
