Our Mission
To improve the quality of life, ensure dignity and respect for persons with serous mental illness, and to support their families.
About NAMI Ohio
NAMI Ohio (National Alliance on Mental Illness of Ohio) was created in 1982 by a small group of family members to provide mutual support, education, and advocacy for individuals and families affected by serious brain disorders. We now include family members, mental health consumers, providers, community mental health boards, mental health organizations and other supporters among our growing membership.
As a successful grassroots organization advocating for mental health issues, NAMI Ohio has a winning history of affecting public policy and legislation regarding care and resources for persons with serious mental illness. NAMI Ohio members testify before the General Assembly, educate business and education leaders, and sit on state planning and advisory committees, Community Mental Health Boards, and various task forces. NAMI Ohio insures that individuals with mental illnesses and their families are represented in places where decisions are made. NAMI Ohio's nearly 60 local affiliates play an active role providing support, education, and advocacy on a local level.
