We are governed by the NAMI Clark, Greene & Madison Counties' Board of Directors and funded in part by the Mental Health and Recovery Board of Clark, Greene and Madison Counties and grants. We rely on your generous donations to make up the rest of our funds.
Our dedicated NAMI staff, Board members and volunteers work tirelessly to raise awareness and decrease the stigma and discrimination surrounding brain-based diseases. Additionally, we provide education, support and advocacy for people living with mental illness and those who love them.
Our confidential, NAMI educational programs and support groups help people gain vital information, insight and understanding.
