MISSION STATEMENT

We educate, support, and advocate for all those affected by 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.  NAMI Billings is the local affiliate of NAMI and we have been around since 1995. 

NAMI Billings provides all services free of charge, and we receive no government support or funding from other levels of NAMI.  We are supported entirely by the generosity of the Billings community.  Each year we provide help through our support groups, courses and advocacy to nearly 2,000 people!

Mental illnesses are highly treatable, and most people who have them are able to live healthy and successful lives when they receive appropriate treatment and regular support.  Our services help prevent hospitalization and emergency admissions by complimenting and reinforcing the care provided by physicians, therapists and case managers.  Barriers to recovery are lack of education and stigma.  NAMI Billings addresses these barriers and gives families hope and encouragement. 

We are committed to providing a supportive environment and exceptional educational experiences to improve quality of life and promote wellness. To this end, we offer educational programs, support groups, personal advocacy, community information, a lending library, and outreach programs for the larger Billings community.
