| Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Organization Mission: | The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health. Today, we are an alliance of more than 600 local Affiliates and 49 State Organizations who work in your community to raise awareness and provide support and education that once was not available for many who needed it. Our Vision NAMI envisions a world where all people affected by mental illness live healthy, fulfilling lives supported by a community that cares. Our Values HOPE We believe in the possibility of recovery, wellness and the potential in all of us. INCLUSION We embrace diverse backgrounds, cultures and perspectives. EMPOWERMENT We promote confidence, self-efficacy and service to our mission. COMPASSION We practice respect, kindness and empathy. FAIRNESS We fight for equity and justice. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion At NAMI, we believe a diverse, inclusive and equitable organization (or Alliance) is one where all employees, volunteers and members - regardless of gender, race, gender identity, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation, education, disability, veteran status or other dimension of diversity - feel valued and respected. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach and to providing equal opportunity for employment, participation and advancement in all programs and worksites. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Public Awareness, Partnerships and Outreach: | SHARING HOPE, NAMI's outreach program for people of Black and African ancestry, grew from 13 locations in 2021 to more than 56 communities. COMPARTIENDO ESPERANZA, our national program devoted to people of Latino heritage, also reached new audiences. Both programs create a safe space to talk about mental health symptoms and treatment, explore ways to find effective care and advocate for more community resources. CROSS-CULTURAL INITIATIVES gained momentum as NAMI worked with historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and youth-focused groups such as the Boys and Girls Club of America to offer urgently needed mental health education and support for young people. PATHWAYS TO HOPE, a nationwide conference organized by NAMI FaithNet, welcomed nearly 3,000 people of different faith traditions, who explored a blend of local and national programming. Emphasizing the role that houses of worship can play in supporting people who struggle with mental health, attendees talked about ways to reduce stigma, build grassroots support and tap local resources that will benefit members and the larger community. MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES FOR YOUTH, SHAPED BY YOUNG VOICES NAMI was one of the first mental health organizations to join with others in declaring a national emergency in youth mental health. To address this need, we are creating age-appropriate resources and building a robust network that unites parents, teachers, coaches, caregivers, lawmakers, community leaders and others to create hope for young people. BACK-TO-SCHOOL time can trigger mental health concerns, and this fall NAMI stood ready with a new online suite of free tools. In just two months, visitors logged 35,000 page views as they explored resources for educators, parents, caregivers and children. A NEW MENTAL HEALTH COLLEGE GUIDE microsite, created in partnership with The Jed Foundation, went live in August. In just five months, 25,000 unique visitors found practical advice on stress management, navigating relationships, self-advocacy and how to find mental health resources on campus. NAMI ENDING THE SILENCE 2.0, a comprehensive update to our signature mental health program for middle-school and high-school students, launched in May. By year-end, more than 3,000 students, educators and parents had come together in 73 locations to talk about the warning signs of mental health issues and what to do when young people need help. THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS created a NAMI account on their Share My Lesson site, offering lesson plans and professional development tools centered on mental health. The account gives teachers access to NAMI's full range of back-to-school tools along with blogs, videos and other resources ready for classroom use. MEET LITTLE MONSTER, NAMI's free coloring and activity book, gives adults a positive way to start mental health conversations with children. Available in five languages, this new resource was downloaded more than 23,000 times in 2022. BUILDING TEAMWORK, INNOVATION AND ENGAGEMENT ACROSS THE ALLIANCE NAMI's community-level work flows through 650 NAMI Affiliates and 49 NAMI State Organizations across the country. More than 50% are volunteer run, working with the active support and programs created by NAMI's Alliance Relations, Development and Field Governance Team (ARDFG). NAMI ALLIANCE DAY 2022 offered leadership development sessions for more than 600 attendees, who gave the June gathering top ratings for effectiveness. More than 87% said they found fresh opportunities to strengthen the Alliance through ongoing learning and partnerships. NAMI's ANNUAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS' LEADERSHIP EXCHANGE welcomed 100 participants, a record number, for an in-person session filled with innovative ideas. NEW FIELD ASSESSMENTS studied NAMI's organizational health, operating model and establish a baseline of cultural and linguistic competency. Data from these unique assessments will support targeted, sustainable decisions to help expand NAMI's impact across the country. NAMI UNIVERSITY, a new database for leadership courses, toolkits, templates and proven practices, went live in 2022. A course for new NAMI leaders launched in August, drawing 500+ enrollees who praised the course's ability to help them get up to speed quickly and effectively. NAMICON 2022: TOGETHER FOR MENTAL HEALTH, hosted virtually for the safety and well-being of the NAMI community, NAMICon 2022 welcomed more than 6,000 registrants with a 234% year-over-year growth in youth attendees. Before the main session, NAMI field leaders, staff and volunteers enjoyed an Alliance Day with networking and programs planned exclusively for them. Our plenary session featured actor, author and mental health advocate Mayim Biyalik who spoke about living stigma-free. NAMIWALKS REACH NEW LEVELS OF EXCELLENCE Successful community events are a tangible benchmark of grassroots support for all nonprofit organizations. In 2022, NAMI showed just how deep this support goes with NAMIWalks hosted in 122 communities from coast to coast. NAMI-NYC RAISED A RECORD $1 MILLION at its NAMIWalks event in May, drawing on the dedication of 5,500 participants and a host of generous sponsors. SEVEN NEW NAMIWALKS raised funds and awareness in Evansville, Indiana; Four Rivers, Mississippi; Missoula, Montana; Far North Idaho and three Florida locations - Gainesville, Hillsborough and Pasco. THE PEER-TO-PEER PROFESSIONAL FORUM (P2P), a leading network for producers of peer-to-peer fundraising events, named NAMIWalks its Organization of the Year 2022. NAMI also ranked among P2P's Top 30 Fundraising Events for the second consecutive year. SUCCESS CAME IN ALL SIZES, with NAMIWalks setting and exceeding fundraising goals as modest as $5,000 and as ambitious as $1 million. Events took place in large cities; in desert, mountain and oceanside communities; on riverfronts, rural trails, suburban parks and more. NAMI EXTENDS ITS GRATITUDE for the thousands of local sponsors who made NAMIWalks possible in 2022 - and those who will help us achieve even more in the years ahead. 122 NAMIWalks Your Way events countrywide 71% increase in registered participants $12.4 million raised nationwide, up 14% year-over-year THE MOST TRUSTED VOICE IN MENTAL HEALTH TODAY Every day, NAMI seeks to reach a larger share of the millions of people affected by mental illness in the United States. Through strategic and highly successful outreach, we elevate stories of hope, wisdom, progress, advocacy and courage that reflect NAMI's commitment to the health of individuals, families and communities. WITH MORE THAN 1 MILLION SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS in 2022, NAMI gained influence on popular platforms people turn to for news, connection and inspiration. NAMI BLOGS DREW 4.2 MILLION VIEWS as visitors explored topics such as the value of music, faith, and comedy in easing mental health symptoms, addressing trauma among first responders, building mental health resilience and many more. NAMI CEO DANIEL GILLISON, JR., spoke at Politico's first-ever health summit, "From Shadows to Solutions: The Future of U.S. Health Care." He joined Dr. Anita Everett, director of SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services; Amy Knight, president of the Children's Hospital Association and Andrew Kolodny, medical director of opioid policy research, Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University for an in-depth discussion of the mental health crisis, which many have termed "a shadow pandemic."

Written by NAMI Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ken Duckworth, the book blends research-based insights with clear, actionable advice and wisdom. Readers and reviewers praised Dr. Ken's decision to center the book on personal stories gathered from more than 130 people living with mental illness or caring for someone who does. "HOPE STARTS WITH US," NAMI's first-ever podcast, launched in July with healing perspectives from special guests representing virtually all aspects of mental health. NAMI CEO Daniel Gillison, Jr., and other hosts, dove into topics such as back-to-school anxiety, trauma that moves through generations and the experience of losing a loved one to suicide. In its first week, the show ranked in the top 25% of all active podcasts, with 5,700+ downloads by year-end. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b, Public Policy and Advocacy: | THE 2022 FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS PACKAGE contained unprecedented funding for mental health, including a four-fold increase in support for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. THE BIPARTISAN SAFER COMMUNITIES ACT made major investments in our nation's mental health system. NAMI led efforts to ensure the bill did not link gun violence with mental illness, creating a statement endorsed by 59 other organizations. THE LORNA BREEN HEALTH CARE PROVIDER PROTECTION ACT invested $135 million over three years to improve mental health and prevent suicide among mental health providers. NAMI ADVOCACY LEADERS from our national policy team testified in Congress, drawing praise from House Appropriations Committee Chair Rosa DeLauro, who referred to NAMI as "the gold standard" among mental health advocates. NAMI ADVOCATES FROM GEORGIA, OHIO AND NEVADA represented our Alliance at White House events centered on community action for mental health. 988 SUICIDE AND CRISIS LIFELINE GOES LIVE After years of advocacy and preparation, 988 became the new number to call for mental health, substance use and suicide crises anywhere in the country. 49 partners joined NAMI's #ReimagineCrisis coalition to support successful 988 rollout 4x increase in 988 funding year-over-year NAMI podcasts, webinars and roundtable discussions explored 988's lifesaving impact |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4c, Information, Support and Education: | NAMI PEER SUPPORT GROUPS reached out to welcome new audiences thanks to a successful awareness campaign paired with effective training that widened the field of facilitators ready to lead new groups. NAMI Connection groups served tens of thousands living with a mental health condition while NAMI Family Support Groups focused on the unique needs of parents, spouses, and others offering ongoing care for someone they love. NAMI HEARTS+MINDS, a new education program launched in May, reminds all of us that mental health is physical health. An all-new curriculum helps people manage their overall wellness with a blend of online resources, in-person sessions and peer wellness support. Five NAMI Affiliates and NAMI State Organizations introduced the free course in their areas, with a full rollout set for 2023. NAMI HOMEFRONT is a free course devoted to the mental health needs of military Veterans and their friends, families and caregivers. Through a partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs, NAMI offered live courses in five cities with large military populations in 2022. More than 2,000 registered users tapped into NAMI Homefront's online resources, with 73% asking to receive more resources via email. NAMI's free education courses also include: NAMI BASICS, a foundational course for parents, guardians and others caring for people with mental health symptoms. NAMI FAMILY-TO-FAMILY, a learning space for spouses, partners, friends and family of adults with mental health challenges. NAMI PEER-TO-PEER, a place where adults living with a mental health diagnosis can learn, grow and offer mutual aid. NAMI PROVIDER, a training program bringing the wisdom and insights of people with mental illness directly to physicians,nurses, social workers, direct care workers, administrators, talk and occupational therapists, psychologists and others. With 100 new facilitators in training, NAMI Provider is slated to grow in 2023 and beyond. NAMI IN OUR OWN VOICE, a series of free presentations led by people who live with mental illness. These open, honest conversations foster understanding by challenging common attitudes, assumptions and ideas about what it's like to have a mental health condition. 88,000+ people attended NAMI peer support groups in 2022 30,000+ benefited from NAMI education courses in English and Spanish NAMI HELPLINE PUTS HOPE AND RESOURCES IN PEOPLE'S HANDS One of our earliest efforts to fight stigma and support people with mental illness, the NAMI HelpLine embodies our mission to make sure no one struggles alone. From a single phone line in a small Washington, D.C. office to a nationwide network of NAMI volunteers responding through mobile, internet and voice channels, the NAMI HelpLine has dramatically expanded its reach. Volunteers, many with lived mental health experience, blend personal wisdom with facts and resources in NAMI's HelpLine Knowledge Center to enable people - including families, friends, caregivers, mental health professionals and the public - to find the answers they need. TEXT CAPABILITIES were added in August, putting NAMI HelpLine within reach of everyone with a smartphone. The move will benefit people who may never have contacted NAMI before, especially teens and young adults, who overwhelmingly favor text as a way to find personal support. After text support rolled out, NAMI HelpLine served a record 7,000 people in a single month via all channels - a new benchmark. Nearly 311,000 help-seekers served via NAMI HelpLine and Knowledge Center 81% said they would recommend NAMI HelpLine to others |
