NAMI provides support, education & advocacy for individuals & families impacted by mental illness
National Alliance on Mental Illness Connecticut (NAMI Connecticut) is a statewide, grass-roots organization that provides support, education and advocacy for individuals and families whose lives are impacted by mental illness.
We offer support, education, and advocacy to people living with mental illnesses, their family members, friends, professionals and the public at large.
In addition to our support groups and affiliated chapters, NAMI Connecticut offers a toll-free Helpline (800) 215-3021 for people living with mental illness, families and professionals; educational programs geared toward those with mental illness – including children – and their families; a bi-monthly member e-newsletter, and a robust public policy program with legislative advocacy training and support.
NAMI Connecticut is the state’s Outreach Partner for the National Institute of Mental Health. As an Outreach Partner, NAMI Connecticut has access to science-based educational materials as well as information on clinical trials in the area.
If you would like more information about NAMI Connecticut and our programs, please contact us by telephone (860) 882-0236/toll free (800) 215-3021 or e-mail. Join us and become part of NAMI Connecticut’s strength and leadership as Connecticut’s Voice on Mental Illness.
