Story and Mission
NAMI Mobile is the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness and was established in 1987 . NAMI ’ s mission is to provide advocacy , education , support , public awareness and hope to individuals and families affected by mental illness . NAMI members understand the challenges of living with a serious mental illness or having a loved one who does and from our experience , offer HELP and HOPE .
NAMI Education and Support Programs help both individuals living with a mental illness as well as their family members . NAMI Mobile is completely volunteer-run and our programs are provided at no cost .
Our annual fundraiser - NAMIWalks Mobile - supports our local NAMI Care Fund , which provides needed dental , medical , and other help to those in our community living with a serious mental illness . Last year , we awarded nearly $ 40,000 in aid .
