NAMI Miami-Dade

Today's youth face unprecedented mental health challenges. Nearly 1 in 6 young people ages 6-17 experience a mental health condition each year, yet many never receive the support they need.

At NAMI Miami-Dade, we're working to change that. Your Give Miami Day gift helps keep our youth and family mental health programs free and accessible, including Ending the Silence, an evidence-informed presentation that equips students, educators, and youth-serving professionals to recognize warning signs, seek help early, and support mental wellness before challenges escalate into crises.

Your support also funds family support groups, family mentoring, educational programs, NAMI on Campus clubs, and youth leadership initiatives that connect young people and families with hope, resources, and community.

As one student shared after attending Ending the Silence:

"As a person who struggled with mental health and went through a dark place, the presentation made me feel seen. It made me feel grateful for my friends and family because I realized I have an abundance of trusted people."

Together, we can ensure more youth, families, educators, and communities have access to free mental health education, support, and advocacy when they need it most. Every gift helps create a future where no one faces mental health challenges alone.
