NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is the nation's leading voice advocating for mental health awareness and support. Founded in 1979, NAMI provides vital education, support, and guidance to individuals, families, and caregivers who are affected by mental health conditions.

NAMI helps combat the stigma associated with mental illness, emphasizing that you are not alone—1 in 5 live with a mental health condition. We offer real-time support through discussion groups, message boards, and resources covering warning signs, symptoms, and identity dimensions.

Join the movement by becoming an affiliate, attending national conventions, and advocating for policy change. NAMI works across the nation to provide the support and education needed to make a difference. If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out to NAMI or the Helpline for immediate help.
