Learning about psychosis and schizophrenia can help replace fear with understanding.

Whether you’re living with a mental health condition, supporting someone you love, or simply wanting to learn more, these books offer different perspectives—from personal experiences to family guidance and research.

📚 Hidden Valley Road explores one family’s experience with schizophrenia across generations.

📚 The Center Cannot Hold is Elyn Saks’ powerful memoir of living with schizophrenia while building a remarkable career.

📚 Surviving Schizophrenia is a comprehensive resource for individuals, families, and caregivers looking to better understand symptoms, treatment, and recovery.

Education doesn’t erase stigma overnight, but it is one of the most powerful places to start.

🌟 Step Into Leadership. Shape the Future. Change Lives.

NAMI Northeast Kansas is now accepting applications for our 2026 Board of Directors—and we’re looking for bold, compassionate leaders ready to make a real impact in mental health across our region.

This is more than a board position. It’s a chance to help build a community where hope is stronger than stigma, where families feel supported, and where every person has access to understanding, education, and care.

We are seeking leaders from all walks of life—professionals, community advocates, veterans, family members, and individuals with lived experience—who are ready to bring their voice, skills, and passion to the table.

💚 If you’ve ever wanted to do something that truly matters—this is it.
