Join NAMI Texas and our presenting partner American Foundation for Suicide Prevention on Thursday, May 1st, 2025 for our Capitol Day Rally!

Need a ride? Bus transportation will be available from Houston, Dallas, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio on a first-come, first-served basis. Transportation and lunch are included with your ticket!

It's clear: we need adequate access to mental health care in Texas. The time is now for state leadership to take decisive action to strengthen the mental health continuum of care.

We will begin our day with learning about advocacy and telling your story! Lunch will be provided, followed by remarks from advocates and policymakers on the South Steps of the Capitol.

After the rally, you will have the opportunity to visit the office of your elected officials and make the case for them to #Act4MentalHealth.
