I don’t live in the U.S. Is there a NAMI program in my country?

NAMI’s operations are restricted solely to the United States. We understand that many countries lack sufficient resources to serve the needs of mental health care, but we simply do not have resources to serve residents in other countries.

Several options may help you find information on resources in your country:

On the menu bar, click on the “globe” icon to the far right and select your country from the drop-down menu. There, you can enter the name of the city where you are seeking treatment.
