Affiliates

NAMI Affiliates are where family members, individuals with mental illness, friends, mental health service providers and others gather to offer peer-to-peer support groups, education opportunities, and advocacy at the grassroots, community level. To find out more about mental health services, NAMI affiliates, or NAMI activities in your area, contact one of our Regional Coordinators.
