Today is the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month - but these mental health resources are available through the entire year. If you’re looking for a culturally competent therapist, Spanish-speaking support, or guidance on overcoming stigma, these resources can help you and your community. Share them so someone in need can learn about the help they deserve. 

NAMI is deeply alarmed by reports of significant staffing cuts at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) that threaten to weaken the stability of our nation’s mental health and substance use systems—especially during a time of growing need. SAMHSA’s leadership in advancing prevention, treatment, and crisis care—especially through initiatives like the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline—is essential. These professionals help millions of Americans access hope, healing, and community support. As the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization, NAMI calls on policymakers to protect and strengthen SAMHSA’s capacity to serve people and families in every community. Now more than ever, we must invest in the people and programs that make recovery possible.

The work of the staff at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) saves lives.

Let’s prioritize Native voices and capacity-building across Indian Country. ____________ Resources: nami.org/indigenous | If you someone you care for is in crisis: call or text 988
