National Shattering Silence Coalition

Founded in 2017, NSSC is a nonpartisan alliance of ​​family members, individuals suffering from serious brain disorders (SBD), professionals in the trenches, and caring people united to ensure that brain illness, health, and criminal justice systems count those with SBD, and their families in all federal, state, and local policy reforms. We are voices for the 14.2 million adults and 8 million children living with and dying too young from serious brain disorders.

We envision a world in which people with serious brain illnesses can receive equitable, compassionate, collaborative treatment and support that enable them to live their best lives. Our mission is to raise awareness and advocate for solutions to the humanitarian crisis faced by people with serious brain disorders commonly referred to as serious mental illnesses.
