National Alliance on Mental Illness

Better known as NAMI, they consider themselves to be “the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.” There are many resources on this website for those struggling with mental issues and for families of patients. There is a local chapter that provides various types of local support groups. Some families have found this organization to be helpful in navigating the myriad resources available to those with mental illness and for the important support that comes in finding others struggling with the same issues.
