Who is NAMI Nevada? We are the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Nevada chapter. NAMI Nevada’s mission is to “the improvement of the quality of life for persons who are affected by mental illnesses, by providing education, support, and advocacy. The state organization supports and develops local affiliates and addresses the needs of the membership.” Our main goal is to provide services and referrals for people and their families living with mental health conditions. We provide educational classes that help families navigate through the diagnosis, and medications and help them to better understand how to navigate the system in this state as well as understand what sometimes seems to be the lack of a system in this state. NAMI Nevada is also at the forefront of policy and advocacy in the state for mental illness.
