Raise Awareness for Mental Illness Awareness Week from Oct. 4–10. Learn more about mental health conditions and participate in National Depression Screening Day, World Mental Health Day and NAMIWalks National Day of Hope! Visit: https://nami.org/home Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. However, mental illness affects everyone directly or indirectly through family, friends or coworkers. Despite mental illnesses’ reach and prevalence, stigma and misunderstanding are also, unfortunately, widespread. That is why each year, during the first week of October, NAMI and participants across the country raise awareness of mental illness. Each year, we educate the public, fight stigma and provide support. And each year, our movement grows stronger. We believe that mental health conditions are important to discuss year-round, but highlighting them during Mental Illness Awareness Week provides a dedicated time for mental health advocates across the country to come together as one unified voice. Since 1990, when Congress officially established the first full week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW), advocates have worked together to sponsor activities, large or small, to educate the public about mental illness.

FAQs on COVID-19 and Addiction/Substance Use Disorder Q: Are people who have an addiction or a substance use disorder (SUD) at greater risk for contracting COVID-19? A: Much remains to be learned about COVID-19, including how it affects people who smoke or vape, or who have an SUD. However, it is known that these individuals are more likely to have suppressed immune systems, are at greater risk for respiratory infections, and may have lung and heart diseases. This could present a greater risk for COVID-19 infection, or more serious cases of the disease.
