WHO WE ARE
- NAMI WLA is a local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, whose mission is dedicated to improving the lives of those living with mental health conditions and their loved ones

WHAT WE DO
- SUPPORT: Free weekly support groups for Peers (those living with mental health challenges) and for Families (loved ones and friends) led by trained facilitators who offer hope, strength and recovery based on lived experiences.
- EDUCATION: Free classes taught by and for Peers and/or Family members, focusing on the challenges of living with mental health conditions, or loving someone who does, and the paths to hope and recovery.
- ADVOCACY: Empowering our community to become advocates, both for their own mental health journeys as well as implementing change on the local, state and national levels.
WHAT WE DO IN OUR COMMUNITY
- ENDING THE SILENCE: Free impactful school presentations that raise awareness about the importance of prioritizing mental health while reducing the shame and stigma that too many students still face.

- NAMI IN THE LOBBY: A program in which volunteers are available at local hospitals and inpatient psychiatric units, to provide support, hope, and resource materials, about NAMI WLA programs and services.
