The holidays can be a joy-filled season, but they can also be stressful and especially challenging for those impacted by mental illness. So lets talk about it.

If you or someone you love is experiencing a crisis, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255; use the Crisis Text Line by texting NAMI to 741-741 to connect with a trained crisis counselor for free, 24/7 crisis support via text message; or call the NAMI Helpline at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) M–F, 7 a.m.–3 p.m. PT for free mental health info, referrals and support.

A NAMI study showed that 64% of people with mental illness report holidays make their conditions worse. (source article: https://namica.org/blog/handling-stress-during-the-holiday-season/)
