NAMI provides advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental health illnesses can build better lives. The week of September 23rd-27th the peer helpers NAMI education booth will be set up between the lobby and library hallway with portfolios, posters, and stress balls. The peer helpers will also have a QR code bringing students to a website called “a friend asked”, so when a friend asks questions other students and peers will know what to say or how to ask for help.

The peer helpers have also written encouraging messages along our schools sidewalks and entrances.
