About us

The National Alliance on Mental Illness of McHenry County (NAMI-MC) is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization dedicated to improving the lives of people who are affected by mental illness.  We offer an array of free programs and services, including self-help groups, family and community education, and advocacy. 

 

NAMI-MC is an affiliate of NAMI, a non-profit organization with more than 210,000 members in all fifty states.  NAMI support and education programs are organized by our volunteer staff who are specially trained and certified. There is no fee to participate.

 

We hope that you will join us for one of the many opportunities we offer.  You will find support in an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding of what you confront when you, or someone you love, has a mental illness.  We understand, because we have experienced it ourselves and joyfully share what we have learned with you. 

With NAMI, you are not alone.
