Mental Illness Awareness Week 2008
 Since
1990, mental health advocates across
the country have joined together
during the first week of October to
celebrate
Mental Illness
Awareness Week (MIAW)
and
Bipolar Disorder
Awareness Day.
This year, MIAW is being observed
from October 5 - 11 and the theme is
"Building Community, Taking Action".
In 1990, the U.S.
Congress established the first week
of October as
Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW)
in recognition of the National
Alliance on Mental Illness’ (NAMI)
efforts to raise mental illness
awareness.
Bipolar Disorder Awareness Day (BDAD)
is held each year on the Thursday of
MIAW. MIAW and BDAD are NAMI's
premiere public awareness and public
education campaigns.
