The mission of NAMI Greater Houston is to provide advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives. NAMI Greater Houston envisions a healing community where all persons affected by mental illness can experience resiliency on the road to wellness. NAMI Greater Houston provides FREE education programs, peer-facilitated support groups, and grassroots advocacy initiatives that enable families and consumers to better understand the complexities and challenges of living with a mental illness and in doing so, become more effective self-advocates. NAMI Greater Houston vigorously promotes the development of community mental health programs and services, improved access to services, increased opportunities for recovery, reduced stigma and discrimination, and increased public understanding of mental illness. Through our peer-run resource center – the S.E.A. (Support, Education and Advocacy) Center, families and consumers can access the help they need.
