We are NAMI, families in which one or more
of our members suffers a mental illness or know someone
who does.
We are in your community.
Maybe we can help you. Help you cope with a burden
that no one else can entirely understand, and the isolation
and frustration that mental illness stigma creates. Help
you buy advocating for better services for persons with
mental illness and better public awareness of the
biological basis for these diseases. Help you by listening
with a personal understanding of how you are touched by
mental illness. You are not alone. We are recovering
from mental illnesses. We are family members. We are

and improve the quality of life of those affected by these

local NAMI affiliate we advocate for both individuals and

person whose life is touched by mental illness.
