Write Oprah to Promote the Movie Canvas!

NAMI has honored the movie Canvas with an Outstanding Media Award for its accurate, balanced and compassionate portrayal of a family transformed by mental illness. The movie helps educate people about the real-life experiences of families who battle schizophrenia, and could have a strong stigma-busting impact.

See Canvas for ways to advocate for distribution of this movie.

Medication Fact Sheets

New fact sheets on psychiatric medications highlight research on why people need an array of medications. These one-page fact sheets can also be used to educate our legislators and the media.
