You can make a difference for mental health.
Guided by the experiences of those living with mental health conditions and rooted in equity, NAMI Chicago educates to fight stigma and discrimination, fiercely advocates for our community, and shares hope, connection, and expertise with people on their mental health journey. NAMI Chicago is one of the largest, most active affiliates of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Founded in 1979, we were part of the original grassroots movement to provide support and education for family members and improve mental health services in Chicago and across the nation. Today, NAMI Chicago is a formidable force for healing and community wellness that organizes and convenes progressive solutions in mental health care. We are a trusted resource for individuals, families and providers navigating the mental health system.
NAMI Chicago could not offer all the support we do without the generous contributions of our donors. Every donation makes a difference in supporting the mental health and wellness of the People of Chicago and Cook County.
