Miami Foundation For Mental Health

Unplugging refers to taking intentional breaks from technology, especially digital devices like smartphones, computers, and social media. The goal is to disconnect from the constant flow of notifications, emails, and digital demands to focus on personal well-being and meaningful in-person interactions. In the context of mental health, unplugging can help you: 🔌 Reduce Stress: Less screen time can lower anxiety caused by overstimulation. 🔌 Improve Sleep: Avoiding screens before bed can enhance sleep quality. 🔌 Enhance Presence: Being unplugged fosters mindfulness and deeper connections with loved ones. During the holiday season, unplugging might mean setting aside tech-free time to enjoy traditions, engage in face-to-face conversations, or simply relax without digital distractions.

The holiday season is often painted as the most wonderful time of the year—a season filled with joy, family gatherings, and celebrations. But for many, it can also bring stress, overwhelm, and feelings of isolation. Balancing personal commitments, financial pressures, and societal expectations can take a toll on your mental health, even during what’s supposed to be a festive time...

November is National Family Caregivers Month, and here at NAMI Miami-Dade, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank the incredible caregivers who give so much of themselves daily. Caring for a loved one with mental health challenges can be both rewarding and challenging, and we’re here to support you. NAMI Miami-Dade offers a variety of resources specifically designed for caregivers, including our weekly Family Support Group. This group provides a safe space where caregivers can connect, share experiences, and find the support they need. If you’re a caregiver or know someone who is, we encourage you to reach out and take advantage of this community. Together, we can make sure no one has to face the journey alone. Thank you, caregivers, for all that you do! #findhelpfindhope #mentalhealth #namimiami #miami #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth #nationalfamilycaregiversmonth #family #caregivers #caregiversrock

Today is Give Miami Day and we need your help! The Statistics Speak For Themselves. In the last 5 years there were 16,000 people arrested 32,000 times, spending 1.2 million days in the Miami-Dade County Jail at a cost of about $414,000,000. Almost every single one of these people have been identified as homeless. Miami-Dade county right now has about 4200 people in the jail with 3500-3700 of them diagnosed with a serious mental illness. Our efforts with Center will contribute to an approximate 50% decline in this number. Our most vulnerable population didn’t have anywhere to turn to for sustained recovery, until now. Join our mission to open the first of its kind Miami Center for Mental Health & Recovery now by donating below, even just $25 makes a difference! https://lnkd.in/epkdjEMv
