NAMI statement standing in solidarity in supporting community mental health in times of stress related to immigration enforcement actions.
“Across the country, people are experiencing fear and trauma during times of heightened community stress. As people speak up and seek to be heard, responding with violence is never the answer. These ongoing activities are taking a toll on individuals and families, with particularly deep impact among our country’s tight-knit immigrant communities, leaving many people living with fear and uncertainty. The extent of the direct and vicarious impact can be difficult to fully understand and could have lifetime mental health impact. NAMI stands in solidarity with everyone affected across the country. You are not alone.” Daniel H Gillison Jr, NAMI CEO If you or someone you love is feeling overwhelmed, support is available.
