National Alliance on Mental Illness is the nation’s largest grassroots organization, with an alliance of over 600 affiliates and state organizations dedicated to helping those impacted by mental illness build better lives through education, advocacy, leadership, collaboration, and listening.

Millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. Despite the reach and prevalence of mental illness, stigma and misunderstanding are unfortunately, widespread.

NAMI strives to provide recovery focused education, support, and advocacy to anyone impacted by mental illness at no cost while spreading awareness about mental health conditions within the community.

Free support and education programs are offered by NAMI to ensure that families, individuals, educators, and community leaders get information vital to understanding mental illness in the community.

NAMI shapes public policy and opportunities for people with mental illness and their families by providing public leaders with the tools, education, and resources necessary to improve mental health services.

Public awareness events and activities, such as Mental Health Awareness Month and the annual NAMIWalks, successfully fight stigma and encourage understanding within the community. NAMI also works closely with the media and local officials to make sure the county understands how important mental health is.

NAMI collaborates with local mental health providers, crisis services, and advocacy organizations to best serve the mental health needs of the community and connect individuals and families with the best resources.
