NAMI Marin

NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Marin County is the local affiliate of the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness and their families. What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health. Through the efforts of our dedicated volunteers, board members, and Executive Director, we work to:

1. Collaborate with Marin County mental health stakeholders to advocate for families of those affected by mental illness, reduce stigma, and work toward improved access to and quality of mental health treatment.
2. Offer education and support programs provided by NAMI National as well as those customized for our local community.
3. Help families and individuals navigate the mental health resources and services available in Marin County.
4. Maintain a strong operational foundation by being financially self-sustaining with a highly engaged and well-trained volunteer base.
