Goal

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in making an impact by supporting NAMI Fox Valley’s school outreach program.



Your contribution will help us empower our kids and end the stigma surrounding mental illness.



Why It Matters:
We know that 1 in 6 youth live with a mental health condition, yet many students experiencing mental health challenges feel isolated and misunderstood.


NAMI Fox Valley's school outreach program engages students in elementary school through high school, sharing information and personal stories that increase mental health awareness, cultivate a culture of support, and encourage students to seek help when needed.



Your Impact:


Last year, we reached 300 classrooms and the impact shows: students feel empowered, teachers see the difference.


Here are just a few examples of recent comments from students and teachers:


  • “I thought the presentation was very good! Understanding more about mental health is important because I have thought about suicide before.” -Student Participant
  • “This presentation made me feel empowered. If I have an issue, I know what to do now.” -Student Participant
  • “I have had several important follow-up conversations with my students in the weeks following the presentation. It has opened the door to talk about mental health.” -Teacher


This Giving Tuesday, let’s come together to empower our kids and end the stigma around mental illness in our schools. Your generosity can spark real change and hope. Together, we can ensure that no student has to navigate their journey alone.
