NAMI Ending the Silence for families is a 50-minute presentation for parents and other primary caregivers of middle and high school students that helps raise awareness around mental health conditions through an informative PowerPoint and short videos. We educate families about the early warning signs of mental illness, facts and statistics, how to approach your child, how to work with school staff, and how early recognition and prevention are key to positive outcomes. Additionally, the presentation includes personal testimony from a young adult living with a mental illness about his/her journey to recovery.
