Affiliates
NAMI Ohio's nearly 60 local affiliates play an active role providing support, education, and advocacy on a local level. They operate support groups to let people know they are not alone and to be there with information and support when needed, appear on local television and radio shows, and speak publicly to educate others about brain disorders. They provide Family to Family education courses. They advocate for effective and timely services from their local service providers, and they offer hope to those suffering from the effects of mental illness and their families. Some NAMI Ohio affiliates help provide housing and mobile crisis teams.
