NAMI champions mental health for all
Be a mental health advocate
NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

NAMI advocates with elected officials to ensure: people get help early, people get the best possible care, and people get diverted from justice system involvement.

But, we can’t do this without you. Your voice makes a difference.
