October 2025

The first full week in October is Mental Illness Awareness Week. This was began in 1990 following a campaign by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) for Congress to create this awareness event. 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 6 youths in our country experience mental illness each year.Most of us are affected by mental illness, either directly or indirectly, and it is vital that we raise awareness and increase education, fight stigma, and promote treatment and support.

October 10th is World Mental Health Day. This year's theme is “Access to services – mental health in catastrophes and emergencies”. Learn more from the United Nations about this annual event and access this year's communications toolkit.

If you are in crisis and need help, our Warmline is open 24/7 at 410-768-5522.
