EVENTS & NEWS

Follow our latest news and events for ways to connect and support your mental health journey.

Feds Reopen

The US federal government reopened on November 13, 2025 after a 43 day shutdown, with many functions resuming. We know this shutdown has been difficult for many people throughout the NAMI community, with access to support, food and much more impacted during this time. We’re grateful to everyone who jumped in to help our community navigate these challenging times.

Unfortunately the agreement to re-open did not address the future of expiring health insurance tax credits, which help around 22 million Americans afford health insurance.

Without congressional action before the end of this year, people will see their premiums increase significantly in 2026, more than double on average.

You can take action today to protect affordable health care coverage, click here to let your congressman know that health care, including mental health care, should never be out of reach because of cost.

SNAP Benefits Resume

Although SNAP benefits resumed after the government reopened we know that many are still struggling, either to catch up from the closure, or maybe they were struggling before. FEEDINGPennsylvania.org believes that no Pennsylvania should go hungry. Click here to Find Food Near You.
