Who is NAMI Next Gen?

NAMI Next Gen is the young adult advisory group for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), composed of 10 young leaders working to improve youth and young adult mental health across the country.

The group represents the voices of youth and young adults across the country and will be advising, creating and innovating how NAMI works with youth and young adults.

Throughout the year, their thoughts, opinions, and feedback will help inform the work of NAMI programs, content, initiatives and new projects to meet young people where they are.
