It's okay to log off. As the holiday season brings increased demands, many people feel pressure to constantly stay connected. But stepping away from the screens, even if just for the long weekend, can reduce stress, improve focus, and support overall mental well-being. At NAMI, we encourage everyone to prioritize their rest, set boundaries, and protect their mental health.

Martin (Retired) explains how person-to-person understanding can dismantle discrimination and help more people access support and recovery.

Today, we honor the rich cultures, traditions, and ongoing contributions of Native peoples — and we recognize the importance of mental health care and culturally grounded support in Indigenous communities. Indigenous people experience disproportionately higher rates of mental health challenges, including suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use disorders. These disparities are rooted in historical and ongoing inequities, not in culture. Mental health is a journey — and for many, community, identity, and cultural practices are vital sources of strength. Indigenous communities hold deep traditions of healing, resilience, and connection, and we are committed to supporting their mental wellness every day of the year. #NativeAmericanHeritageDay
