Mental Illness Awareness Week

Mental Health Awareness.In 1990, the U.S. Congress established the first week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW). in recognition of NAMI's outreach efforts.

Since then, all levels of NAMI ––national, state and local–– have conducted public education campaigns in unison.
