National Alliance on Mental Illness

The families and members of the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Montgomery County, MD (NAMI MC) are here to help! NAMI MC offers understanding to anyone concerned about mental illnesses and the treatment of mental illness.

Mental illnesses are brain disorders that are biologically based medical problems. If untreated, they can cause severe disturbances in thinking, feeling and relating. This results in substantially diminished capacity for dealing with the ordinary demands of life. Mental illness can affect persons of any age and occur in any family. They are not caused by bad parenting and are not evidence of weakness of character.

NAMI MC envisions a community where all persons affected by mental illness experience resiliency, recovery, acceptance, and wellness.

NAMI MC provides comprehensive support, education, advocacy, and public awareness to promote recovery and so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives.

Below are a few of the incredible supports NAMI MC offer for caregivers.
