Join the #IAmNAMIPride Movement
Throughout June, we invite you to share why you are proud by tagging us (@NAMICommunicate) and using our hashtag #IAmNAMIPride. Feel free to also bookmark this webpage, as we’ll be adding more resources and ways to get involved throughout the month.
Advocate for Equal Access
NAMI supports public policies that reduce mental health inequities for LGBTQ+ populations, like enforcing non-discrimination protections in health care and removing barriers to accessing appropriate mental health care.
Members of the LGBTQ+ community experience mental health conditions at a higher rate than their peers, but often cannot access the mental health care they need. All people deserve access to quality mental health care, free from discrimination or interference. This Pride Month, we’re asking advocates to show their support for equal access to mental health care by signing this petition.
