The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Southwest Ohio is a grassroots education, support and advocacy organization founded in 1979. Originally founded as NAMI Hamilton County, at the end of 2014 NAMI Hamilton County, NAMI Warren County and NAMI Clermont County merged to better serve the region. We offer educational programs, support groups, and an information and referral phone line. We work together with our national organization (NAMI) and our state affiliate (NAMI Ohio) to advocate for people living with mental illness and their families. All programs are offered at no cost to participants and are offered by individuals and family members affected by mental illness.
