NAMI's mission is to improve the lives of people affected by mental illness.  If this is your passion too, NAMI is where you belong. Are you motivated to become a NAMI member?

 The voices of NAMI members strengthen the organization’s impact with leaders and legislators to spread awareness, shape legislation and remove stigmas.  

Membership helps ensure that NAMI’s programs like NAMI Basics, NAMI Family-to-Family or NAMI Peer-to-Peer, NAMI Family Support Groups  and NAMI Connection stay free to anyone wanting to attend. 

Membership dues keep the NAMI Helpline phones and emails answered.  Over 50,000 people contact the Helpline each year for information and support. 

Membership helps NAMI to present more than 8,000 stigma-busting community awareness presentations each year like NAMI In Our Own Voice and NAMI Ending the Silence. 

 You are Not Alone and NAMI Air create new, important, virtual ways to share, learn and receive encouragement.  Membership dollars help keep these channels open. 

 Each NAMI membership benefits an extensive network of NAMI Affiliates and NAMI State Organizations as well as the national NAMI organization. 

 The NAMI Advocate magazine and subscriptions to online newsletters and reports provide important and timely information. 

Receive member-only discounts in the NAMI Store and reduced registration fees for the NAMI National Convention. 

 $40 for an individual or $60 for a household is all it takes to join NAMI.   How many of these reasons resonate with you?
