Join us to create hope, recovery and wellness in a world free of stigma!
NAMI New York State is the state organization of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation’s largest grassroots organization for people with mental illness and their families. NAMI NYS provides advocacy, education, support, and public awareness so that individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives.
For 40 years, NAMI NYS has been a leading voice and innovator working to expand equitable access to high-quality mental healthcare while centering the experiences of those impacted. We are a pioneer in family and peer education and support, giving families and individuals impacted by mental illness a strong network to turn to in the most difficult times of their lives. We believe that community-based intervention plays an essential role for the safety and wellbeing of persons living with mental illness including youth, justice impacted individuals, veterans, as well as their families, caregivers, and health care providers.
Every year, NAMI NYS serves thousands of New Yorkers through helpline support, training our 24 affiliates across New York to provide life-saving support in their communities, and educating and convening partners together with our NAMI community to ensure that lived experience informs the policies, systems, and services that directly impact those they are built to serve.
Give today and join us as living proof that hope is available and recovery is possible.
