About NPCF
NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. NAMI started as a small group of families, gathered around a kitchen table in 1979. Today, they are an association of hundreds of local affiliates, state organizations and volunteers who work in your community to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available to those in need. They rely on gifts and contributions support their work, which includes educating, advocating, and supporting the society, helping the country understand mental illness.
