NAMI Mississippi

NAMI MS is a non-profit, grassroots organization dedicated to providing support, education, and advocacy for consumers of mental health services and their families. NAMI MS works to foster greater public awareness of serious mental illness and to overcome stigma and misconceptions that are associated with mental illness.

We work to educate families, consumers, professionals and the general public through free educational classes as well as support groups state-wide. We advocate at the state and national levels to protect the rights and promote the welfare of people with mental illness. Our goal is to ensure quality services and continuity of care.

The primary functions of NAMI are support, education, and advocacy for consumers (individuals with a mental illness diagnosis) and their families; for research and services; and for the education of all professionals, providers, and the general public.
