National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) stands out for its scale and community reach. Founded in 1979 by a small group of families, it has grown into the nation’s largest grassroots mental-health organization—an alliance of more than 600 local affiliates and 49 state organizations.

That footprint translates into practical value: consistent awareness campaigns, accessible education, and peer-support resources that many communities previously lacked. For individuals and families seeking reputable, community-based support, NAMI offers a well-established, nationwide network backed by decades of advocacy.
