Story and Mission
The National Alliance on Mental Illness Mobile ’ s mission is to improve the lives of people affected by mental illness by funding various programs that provide education , advocacy , and support to individuals living with mental illness and their families in our community . Increasing public awareness is key to our mission and our mantra is “ You Are Not Alone Because Mental Health Matters .”
NAMI Signature Education and Support Programs :
• NAMI Family-to-Family
• NAMI Family Support Group
• NAMI Connections Group
• NAMI Ending the Silence
• NAMI In Our Own Voice
• NAMI Peer To Peer
In the past fiscal year , NAMI Mobile impacted 750 lives through our signature education programs . We provided care to 42 individuals with serious mental illnesses in Mobile and Baldwin County via our NAMI Mobile Dental Fund . NAMI volunteers attended weekly Probate Court hearings to provide resources and support for 105 family members . Our annual Family Drive-In Movie Day at Medal of Honor Park promoted Mental Illness Awareness in October and provided $ 500 dollars in toiletries and other needs to the Behavioral Health Crisis Center serving individuals experiencing a mental health crisis .
None of this would be possible without your support of our Annual NAMIWalks Mobile which provides funding for our educational programs , outreach , and Dental Care Fund . NAMIWalks Mobile will be held Saturday , April 22 , 2023 , at Cooper Riverside Park .
