What People Are Saying
I’m really grateful and glad that you talked to us. I often feel very alone or weird because many kids my age don’t understand. But, now I’m sure they would be more supportive of me.” - Student
It is amazing what just one day, one talk can do. You never really know what’s going on in the brain of any particular student.” - Teacher
Recently parents from two different families reached out to me after their children had seen NAMI Ending the Silence. Both were thanking me for the work we do along with being grateful to know about us as a resource. They were able to have very meaningful and open conversations with their children/students
and happy they are getting this information in the school setting.” - ETS Program Leader
