Mission: The NAMI Tennessee Veterans' Council advocates for early and effective mental healthcare to support recovery and community integration of veterans, service members and their families.

NAMI Tennessee offers service members, veterans and their families programs designed to unite civilian and military mental health agencies. Our programs provide an outlet to share first-hand experience with the day-to-day challenges of mental illness and recovery.

Battle Buddies: Connects healthy veterans with service members, veterans and military families to help them deal with the trauma of military service. A “Battle Buddies” presentation will raise awareness of mental illness for Veterans’ Service Organizations (VSO) and encourage them to continually reach out to veterans and their families, especially those serving in the present war. Each VSO will address the unique needs of warriors in their community and partner with a local NAMI group for support.

IOOV (In Our Own Voice): Consumers with serious mental illnesses cope with dignity and meaning. Who better to talk about having a mental illness than those in recovery? In a training from NAMI TN, a team of two consumers share their personal testimonies about their successes, hopes and dreams. Helping one person at a time and breaking the stigma.

With Hope in Mind (WHM): Classes and support groups for family members and friends of adults living with mental illness. Classes cover the biology of mental illness; communication, crisis planning, understanding medication and treatment, coping and self-care skills.

With Hope in Mind: Beginnings (WHMB) and NAMI Basics:  Classes and support groups for primary care providers of children (under 18) struggling with emotional or behavioral disorders such as ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and more.
