Sharing Hope

Centering the right to mental wellness, the NAMI’s Sharing Hope initiative is rooted in collective community wisdom and empowerment; and creates pathways to healing for Black/African Ancestry and immigrant communities.

Sharing Hope is a three-part community conversation series in which sacred stories are shared through community conversations prompted by videos and guided by a facilitator who helps participants understand support strategies and community resources. Sharing Hope facilitators are fellow community members who identify as Black/African Ancestry and seek to find wellness for themselves and their communities.

Sharing Hope is a community-driven initiative that embraces and celebrates cultural identity and empowerment. It is a place for Black/African Ancestry and immigrant communities to gather, listen and support each other on the path to mental wellness and healing.

Sharing Hope is part of NAMI’s cross-cultural initiative to destigmatize mental health in racially and ethnically diverse communities. Please join us in ensuring our communities feel welcome, respected and heard.
