NAMI envisions a world where those affected by mental illness lead fulfilling lives with community support. They provide advocacy, education, support, and public awareness to empower individuals and families impacted by mental illness. NAMI values hope, inclusion, empowerment, compassion, and fairness. They offer education programs and support groups nationwide through NAMI State Organizations and Affiliates, ensuring no one faces mental health challenges alone. Their advocacy influences national policy, and they equip volunteer leaders with necessary tools. The NAMI HelpLine offers personalized support to many annually. Public awareness events like Mental Illness Awareness Week and NAMIWalks combat stigma and promote understanding. For more information and resources, visit NAMI's main or county-specific websites.
