General Information for NAMI Northside Atlanta Chapter:

Our Mission: NAMI is dedicated to the eradication of mental illnesses and to the improvement of the quality of life of all whose lives are affected by these diseases.

NAMI Northside Atlanta: Is a family-based, grassroots, support and advocacy organization. We are the parents, children, spouses, siblings, treatment professionals and friends of persons with severe mental illness…and we believe in recovery! We are working together to build a better life for our loved ones. Learning about brain disorders, i.e., schizophrenia, bi-polar, major depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, has enabled us to see these diseases like any other disease such as heart disease, diabetes or cancer.  We are an affiliate of NAMI Georgia and NAMI National .
