NAMI Mission and History

NAMI CCNS is a grass roots organization and an affiliate of the NAMI National organization. Our affiliate was started in the early 1990’s by a group of family members who were all dealing with the challenges of loved ones with mental illness. They offered a Family -to-Family class and that was the beginning of our affiliate, which now serves over 17 communities in our catchment area.

We now offer free of charge a variety of courses, support groups, webinars, and educational programs. People who have taken our classes and attended our support groups constantly comment about their positive experiences and how NAMI supported them when and gave them hope when they needed it most.
