For Family Members And Friends

When someone you care about develops a mental health condition, it can be difficult to know how to support them while also taking care of yourself. NAMI-NYC provides education and support through our peer-led programs. We understand what you’re going through, because we’ve been there. You are not alone. How can we help?
