Spring Forward, Not Backward: How Seasonal Changes Affect Mental Health.
Spring can be an exciting time. The earth is slowly coming back to life and warmer temperatures can symbolize rebirth. Among the blooming trees and budding flowers is also the end of daylight savings. Many Americans dread this as it is inconvenient and requires an adjustment of clocks and schedules.
To read more about how daylight savings can affect our mental health, read more on the NAMI Dane County Blog.
NAMI was founded in Madison, WI. From the first open meeting in 1977, NAMI offered information on the availability of community and inpatient services as well as providing advocacy for individuals to acquire those services.
Each year our NAMIWalks campaign raises crucial funds that support our work. NAMIWalks also builds awareness around mental illness in order to help break the stigma and ensure people know they are not alone.
Our website offers a wide range of information which highlights our own programming, community resources for various human services, crisis intervention guidance, and ways to get involved in volunteering and advocacy.
