| 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 and COMPARTIENDO ESPERANZA, NAMI's outreach programs for the Black/African Ancestry and Hispanic/Latinx communities, continued to grow in 2023. To date, Sharing Hope and Compartiendo Esperanza have trained more than 450 facilitators for these programs, and NAMI has held Sharing Hope conversations with 12 companies. Sharing Hope and Compartiendo Esperanza can occur in many settings, including faith-based. MANIWAL AND CHAI & CHAT: This year, NAMI expanded its outreach programs to the Filipino and South Asian communities. Using the model of Sharing Hope, NAMI adapted the program and created Maniwal for the Filipino community and is in the process of creating Chai & Chat for the South Asian community. In 2023, Maniwal reached 600 people, and NAMI received 100 assessments for Chai & Chat to help with its development. CHEA: In 2023, NAMI continued to spearhead the Community Health Equity Alliance (CHEA), a mental health equity initiative that joins community-based organizations and thought leaders as collaborators under the shared mission to improve serious mental illness care (SMI) for Black/African Ancestry adults. This initiative furthers NAMI's commitment to equity and advances equity in access to care in Black/African Ancestry communities, beginning with California, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas. CROSS-CULTURAL INITIATIVES: In 2023, NAMI strengthened its new partnership with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, raising mental health awareness and connecting people with mental health resources at their 56th national convention, where NAMI reached 25,0000 women. As part of a new initiative, 53 college campus Delta chapters submitted applications for partnerships between NAMI and their campus counseling centers. PATHWAYS TO HOPE, a nationwide conference organized by NAMI FaithNet, welcomed nearly 4,000 people of different faith traditions, who explored a blend of local and national programming about how communities can build their own grassroots movements to help engage faith communities, mental health providers and other community partners in building sustainable coalitions in support of people living with mental health conditions.

In partnership with the LA Rams and the Children's Institute, NAMI held four conversations attended by 45 fathers.

NAMI also recently formed a Workplace Mental Health Advisory Council with 12 members from notable companies across industries. 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. NAMI ON CAMPUS HIGH SCHOOL: In late August 2023, NAMI launched NAMI On Campus High School, where campus clubs work to end mental health stigma by holding creative meetings, hosting innovative awareness events and offering signature NAMI programs through partnerships with NAMI State Organizations and NAMI Affiliates. Since August 21, 2023, more than 20 high school clubs became official NAMI On Campus High School clubs. BACK-TO-SCHOOL RESOURCES: This year, NAMI continued its support for students, caregivers and educators, releasing 13 new resources for the 2023 back-to-school season. These resources cover such topics as engaging safely with social media, mindfulness activities for K-12, a guide for trauma-informed active-shooter drills and more. Since early August, these resources have had close to 51,000 pageviews.

Launched in 2023, the game has had almost 4,000 players in its first six months of availability. 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.

NAMICON 2023: TOGETHER FOR MENTAL HEALTH, marked the first in-person NAMICON since 2019. Of those who attended and completed a follow-up survey, 80% found NAMICon very useful and 17% found it somewhat useful. One attendee commented, "I have been to 25 NAMI Conventions, and it was the best ever in my experience." NAMI ALLIANCE DAY 2023 offered leadership development sessions for more than 600 attendees.

Eighteen NSONAs have joined NAMI National in the pilot as we test the platform from October 2023 through March 2024.

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. NAMI TEEN & YOUNG ADULT HELPLINE: To help with the mental health crisis among teens and young adults, NAMI officially launched the new NAMI Teen & Young Adult (T&YA) HelpLine in October 2023. This is a free, nationwide peer-support service providing information, resource referrals, and support to teens and young adults. It provides a safe space for young people to connect with peers who understand their struggles, and offers them resources and information that help. The T&YA HelpLine is available by phone, text, or chat. Nearly 318,000 help-seekers were served via NAMI HelpLine and Knowledge Center in 2023. |
