NAMI Northern Virginia

NAMI Northern Virginia is a 45-year old NAMI affiliate serving the over 2.3 million people of Arlington County, Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church. NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization. NAMI provides free advocacy, education, support, and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives. NAMI’s programs can help you to better understand your or a loved one’s mental health condition. You will learn from connecting with others who have similar experiences. All of our programs are free, confidential, and peer-led. Simply put, we are an organization of peers and families. We understand because we’ve been there too.

Our mission is to serve Northern Virginia individuals, family members, and friends affected by mental health challenges through awareness, education, support, advocacy, and collaboration with community partners.
