What it reported doing in 2025
Ending the Silence is an in-person presentation to students. The presentation, intended to fill about one class period, teaches the basics of mental health and is accompanied by a testimonial from a young adult who has experienced a mental health condition, sharing their journey to recovery. While typically given in a school setting, the program can also be delivered to teens in other settings like youth community groups.The online version of NAMI Ending the Silence includes a 25-minute video created by an award-winning digital content agency; a library of 12 personal stories told by a diverse group of young adults; additional videos covering important topics like treatment, self-harm and coping skills; and takeaway resources for teachers and teens. The videos are all offered with Spanish subtitles, and one testimonial is delivered by a native Spanish speaker.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
