Mental Illness Awareness Month

ePromos is available to help you support Mental Illness Awareness Month. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) started in 1979, and it was officially adopted by Congress in 1990. Mental Illness Awareness Month seeks to inform the public about severe mental illnesses, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression. For example, did you know that 5-8% of the adult population in the United States will suffer from depression? That is a lot of people! This week furthers NAMI's overall mission - to provide accurate information, inform people of current public policy issues, and reduce the stigma given to individuals diagnosed with mental illnesses.
