Populations Served

NAMI advocates for the most effective and appropriate care and treatment and provision of services for people who experience a mental illness. NAMI's priority populations are children, youth and adults with serious mental illnesses who need services and support, often throughout their lives. These include children and adults who have diagnoses that are considered major mental illnesses that significantly impair major life activities, interpersonally, vocationally, educationally, and in managing activities of daily living.
