I’m working on a school project and would like to interview someone at NAMI.

Thank you so much for contacting NAMI to request an interview for your project. We appreciate your interest in mental health. Unfortunately, due to the volume of requests for assistance from our HelpLine, we are unable currently to assist you directly with your request.

We would recommend, however, that you visit the NAMI HelpLine page of our website where you will find answers to our Most Frequently Asked Questions, links to the HelpLine’s Top HelpLine Resources, and the HelpLine Data section that provides statistical information specific to the NAMI HelpLine and the callers we serve. 

Additionally, NAMI's Fact Sheet Library contains downloadable infographics about the prevalence and impact of mental illness as well as numerous downloadable Fact Sheets on various Mental Health Conditions, Treatment & Services, and other related topics.
