NAMI Educational Programs * Support Groups

We are ready to serve as your guide because we have already traveled many of the paths in front of you. We have lived your experience. We can teach you to manage an illness and move toward recovery. We offer you information and support. We offer you an opportunity to join the continuing revolution in the scientific advance toward understanding brain disorders. Join us in the effort to ensure access to effective treatment and support for our community.

There is no disgrace in having a mental illness.

It's no one's fault. It's not a reflection of integrity or character.

No one is immune.

Brain disorders are illnesses like any other.

Treatments exist.

People do recover.

Help us as we teach our neighbors to avoid pretending that their illness doesn't exist. Show them how destructive it is to cover up mental illness as if it were a terrible secret. What is important, is to reach out openly to others for support.

NAMI West Central Indiana is here for you!
