Parent Organization

NAMI National

Options: Vision, Mission and/or Purpose of Organization

From its inception in 1979, NAMI has been dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness.

For three decades, NAMI has established itself as the most formidable grassroots mental health advocacy organization in the country. Dedication, steadfast commitment and unceasing belief in NAMI's mission by grassroots advocates have produced profound changes. NAMI's greatest strength is the dedication of our grassroots leaders and members. We are the families, friends and individuals that serve to strengthen communities across the country.

Due in large part to generous individual, corporate, and foundation donations, NAMI is able to build on its success and continue to focus on three cornerstones of activity that offer hope, reform, and health to our American community: Awareness, Education, and Advocacy.

Beaver County NAMI is an affiliate of NAMI of South West PA, NAMI PA, and NAMI National.

Beaver County monthly support group meeting is 7:30 the 3rd Thursday of the month in the conference room, Heritage Valley -Stauton Clinic, 176 Virginia Avenue, Rochester. Three other support groups for specific illnesses are announced in the monthly newsletter.
