you are not forgotten

their lives inspire us to keep fighting

​The silence surrounding Severe Mental Illness (SMI) too often extends to the memories of those we've lost. At NSSC, we believe every life holds profound value, and every story deserves to be heard.

We know the pain of loss, and we want to honor the individuals whose battles with SMI ended too soon. They are not forgotten. Their journeys, their laughter, their struggles—they all inspire us to strengthen our fight for systemic change, better care, and true understanding.

If you have lost a loved one to SMI, we invite you to share their name with us below. Their lives fuel our commitment to a future where others receive the support they need.

​We also invite you to optionally share a photo for our 'Faces We Are Fighting For' gallery.

You are not alone. Your love keeps them shining.

    FOR OUR TRIBUTE & IN LOVING MEMORY, PLEASE SHARE YOUR LOVED ONE'S NAME.
