For almost 30 years, NAMI-NYC Metro has provided our families and individuals with the information and skills they need to advocate for better mental health services and a more responsive mental health system. It is our belief that including the family and mental health consumer perspective is crucial to ensuring quality services, improving outcomes, and enhancing recovery. Through the advocacy efforts of our members, we work to persuade providers, government, and legislative representatives of the importance of this voice as they make funding decisions regarding programs and services supporting individuals and families living with mental illnesses.
