What is Ending The Silence?

NAMI Ending the Silence is an engaging presentation that helps audience members learn about the warning signs of mental health conditions and what steps to take if you or a loved one are showing symptoms of a mental health condition.  

What is Ending The Silence?

One in five children in the U.S. experience a mental health condition each year. Through this program we hope to raise awareness of these issues and to remind youth and their families that help is available right here in Lake County. 


  NAMI Ending the Silence presentations include a lead presenter who shares an informative presentation and a young adult with a mental health condition who shares their journey of recovery. Audience members can ask questions and gain understanding of an often-misunderstood topic, and through dialogue, help grow the movement to end stigma.  

Schedule An Ending The Silence Presentation

If you would like to host a NAMI Ending the Silence presentation at your school, contact your local NAMI Affiliate.
