National Alliance on Mental Illness Howard County Md

We help each other rebuild lives, promote a better understanding of mental illness, dispel societal stigma and work towards the process of recovery.
Overthinking traps you in endless loops of worry, draining your energy and clouding your judgment. While it may seem like you're seeking control, it often magnifies problems. To break free, practice limiting dwelling on thoughts and trusting your instincts.

This Disability Pride Month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and diversity of our community — including those living with mental health conditions. Every mind matters, every story belongs, and every person deserves pride, support, and inclusion.
On bad mental health days, self care can make a big difference. Slow down and do what you can to make yourself feel better, whether that's reaching out to a friend, or unplugging from social media.
Taking care of your mental health is not weak; it's a sign of strength.
Breaking stigma starts with breaking the silence. Mental health isn’t a privilege — it’s a right that belongs to all of us, and everyone deserves to have their story told and heard! nami.org/bebemoore #BebeMooreLegacy #MinorityMentalHealthMonth
Happy Fourth of July! We hope you have a fantastic holiday today. #July4th
