The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) began when a small group of families gathered to address the need for advocacy, education, and support for individuals and families affected by mental health conditions. Established in 1979, NAMI has grown into a powerful network with over 600 local affiliates across the U.S., working tirelessly to promote awareness and understanding of mental health issues.
NAMI offers a range of invaluable services, including educational programs that help individuals and families better understand mental health conditions. Their peer-led support groups provide a safe space for sharing experiences, reducing the isolation that often accompanies mental health struggles. Additionally, NAMI advocates for better mental health policies, striving to ensure that those living with mental health challenges receive the care and resources they need.
For families, NAMI offers crucial support, helping loved ones navigate the complexities of mental illness and encouraging open, stigma-free discussions. Through their efforts, NAMI empowers individuals to take control of their mental health journey while fostering a sense of community and hope.
In a world where mental health conditions can still carry stigma, NAMI serves as a beacon of support and understanding for millions. There are over 700 NAMI State Organizations and Affiliates across the country. To find the NAMI closest to you, click this link.
