The NAMI Veterans CouncilThe NAMI Veterans Council (NVC) is a leadership body of NAMI members assembled to advise the NAMI National Board of Directors on issues relating to veterans and their families.
The NVC exists to give input to the NAMI Board of Directors through the Veterans Committee and to ensure close attention to veterans' mental health issues not only at the national level, but also within each Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN). Additionally, NVC members engage with NAMI national and state organization leadership to support and enhance education and advocacy activities.
