Millions of people in the US are affected by mental illness every year, and the average delay between onset of mental illness symptoms and treatment is 10 years. NAMI envisions a world where all people affected by mental illness live healthy fulfilling lives supported by a community that cares.
NAMI strives to continue to raise awareness about mental illness, provide programs about mental health to populations that have historically not had access to quality mental health care, and advocate for systems and policies that support good mental health for all Americans. Your gift will help NAMI fulfill its mission of providing advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives.
