What is NAMI Connecticut and What Do They Do?

Founded in 1984, NAMI Connecticut (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is a nonprofit, grassroots organization dedicated to improving the lives of all people in Connecticut affected by mental illness. For over 40 years, in collaboration with our nine local affiliates, we work to change public attitudes about mental illness and offer support, education and advocacy programs at the state and local levels.

NAMI Connecticut plays an active role providing support, education, and advocacy at the community level. We offer support groups to let people know they are not alone and to be there with information and support when needed. Our affiliates speak publicly to educate others about mental health conditions and provide educational programs, free of cost, to youth and young adults, parents, individuals, and families affected by mental illness. They advocate for effective and timely services from their local service providers, and they offer hope to those experiencing the impact of mental illness
