NAMI - Solano County

Purpose:

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is a nonprofit, volunteer, grassroots organization. Our purpose is to:

• Support families of individuals with mental illnesses.
• Educate families and the public about mental illness.
• Advocate for improved treatment and treatment facilities.
• Fight stigma and discrimination.
• Support legislation that helps those with neurobiological brain disorders.
• Improve private and public sector policies.
• Provide more housing with support services.
• Increase outreach to people with mental illnesses and their families.

Our affiliate, NAMI - Solano County, began when a group of families met to find ways to improve the lives of their loved ones with mental illness. Since that time our membership and influence have continued to grow.
