Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. During May, NAMI joins the national movement to raise awareness about mental health. Each year we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for policies that support people with mental illness and their families.
2021 National Alliance on Mental Health Theme:
You Are Not Alone
For 2021’s Mental Health Awareness Month NAMI will continue to amplify the message of “You Are Not Alone.” We will use this time to focus on the healing value of connecting in safe ways, prioritizing mental health and acknowledging that it’s okay to not be okay through NAMI’s blog, personal stories, videos, digital toolkits, social media engagements and national events.

It is the mission of Nerinx Hall College Counseling to educate, empower, and nurture each student as she explores, prepares, and plans for the college admissions process. We believe that each young woman has her own unique gifts, interests, and goals and we are here to provide an opportunity for her to discover colleges and universities that are a great fit academically, socially, and financially.
