Because mental illness impacts the lives of at least one in four adults and one in 10 children, or 60 million Americans, NAMI works every day to save every life.

At the heart of NNNAMI’s mission is grassroots and the sharing of information with people with mental illness, their families, friends, mental health professionals, and the general public. NNNAMI strives to offer hope, reform and health to our American community through support, education , and advocacy efforts. Research is constantly providing us with new information about the brain and the nature of mental illnesses and, consequently, more effective treatments.
