About Us
NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. NAMI advocates for access to services, treatment, supports and research and is steadfast in its commitment to raising awareness and building a community of hope for all those in need. Our mission on the CWRU campus is to raise awareness of mental illness through events and distribution of informational materials, educate students on their options in addressing and treating mental illness, as well as provide peer support for those struggling with mental illness. We work closely with University Counseling Services (UCS) and other student activist organizations to create a positive, constructive space in which students feel safe, address the problems students face when seeking help, and expand the reach of the services offered by UCS and other mental health resources on campus.
