More About NAMI Georgia
How does NAMI Georgia Serve?
NAMI Georgia trains teachers and group facilitators, who then offer classes and support groups through our local affiliates. We work with legislators and leaders across the state to press for change that improves the lives of everyone affected by mental illness.
Across the state of Georgia, hundreds of trained volunteer leaders and 23+ local affiliates work together to provide peer-led education programs, support groups, presentations, and training to a variety of communities and groups. NAMI programs are provided at no cost to participants.
NAMI Georgia also provides a non-crisis Information & Resource/HelpLine at 770-408-0625 or email [email protected].
We have also created a Behavioral Health and Wellness Menu so that organizations across can access our programs.
