National Shattering Silence Coalition
Grow a Strong Family has partnered with the National Shattering Silence Coalition as a natural step forward in its mission to improve the lives of everyone affected by the severe mental illness of others. Providing resources and information is not enough; advocacy is essential for enhancing outcomes for individuals who are affected, through no fault of their own, by brain diseases, as well as for their families, friends, and communities.
We are the voices of 22 million people living with and dying far too young from serious brain disorders, commonly known as serious mental illness.
Since October 2017, the National Shattering Silence Coalition has been speaking out and inspiring change for over 8 million children (1 in 10) and 14.2 million adults (1 in 20) with serious brain disorders.
Our nonpartisan alliance of family members, individuals suffering from serious brain disorders (SBDs), professionals in the trenches, and caring people, all united to ensure brain illness, health, and criminal justice systems count those with SBDs, and their families in all federal, state, and local policy reforms.
