PATIENTS WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES

NAMI was founded in 1979. Since that time, NAMI has grown into the foremost national advocacy organization for persons living with
mental illness, and their families. Over the years this revolutionary grassroots movement has significantly influenced research and
treatment policies made at the highest levels of national government, and the NAMI Affiliates have provided a haven of support and
understanding for thousands of family members seeking to help their loved ones.
