We believe stigma about mental illness will only be eradicated through consistent, effective outreach and improved public awareness that spotlights individual successes and positive outcomes. We understand shame and stigma about mental illness discourages individuals from getting help, and remains a key barrier to winning public support for improving our mental health system of care. We believe advocacy for a better system of mental health care is more effective when individuals living with mental illness, family members and providers work together. Divided, we will surely fail. Together, there is no limit to what we can accomplish.

2013 NAMI Vermont Advocacy Agenda

NAMI Vermont advocates to persuade providers, government, and legislative representatives of the importance of the voice of family members and peers as they make funding decisions regarding programs and services supporting individuals and families living with mental illnesses. To that end, NAMI Vermont has adopted the 2013 Advocacy Agenda.
