about nami
NAMI Virginia’s local affiliates play an active role in providing support, education, and advocacy at the community level. They operate support groups to let people know they are not alone supply information and support when needed. Our affiliates speak publicly to educate others about brain disorders and provide educational programs, free of cost, to youth and young adults, parents, individuals, and families affected by mental illness. They advocate for effective and timely services from their local service providers, and they offer hope to those experiencing the impact of mental illness. Please see our Recovery tab for more information on support groups and see our Resources tab for educational programs and Advocacy opportunities. If you or your loved one needs immediate care, please see our Crisis tab.
