NAMI Dubuque

NAMI Dubuque We serve our surrounding communities through peer-led education, programming, and support.

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Dubuque is a non-profit, tax-exempt grassroots organization advocating for all who are affected by mental illness. NAMI advocates for access to services, treatment, and research and is steadfast in its commitment to educate, support, and raise awareness in building a community of hope for those affected by mental illness and their families. NAMI stands firm in its conviction that mental illness should not be an obstacle to a full and meaningful life for persons with mental illness. Due to Covid-19 we have moved to limited office hours, but are available through email, phone, or Facebook messenger daily.

Our team at NAMI Dubuque—including staff and board members—attended the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference in San Diego earlier this month.

The goal was simple: to sharpen our ability to share the experiences of those we serve with the dignity and impact they deserve. We focused on mastering new, ethical methods for translating lived experiences into powerful narratives that reduce stigma and build genuine community connection.

This investment ensures we can better fulfill our core mission through more effective communication and advocacy.

"No" is a complete sentence, especially during the holidays! Setting healthy boundaries with commitments, expectations, and even family members is crucial for protecting your mental energy. It's not selfish; it's self-care.

Our Soft Skills for Success class (available next semester!) helps build confidence in communication, while our Mindful Arts & Crafts sessions offer a calming break from the hustle. Prioritize activities that genuinely bring you peace.

Turn $5 into Hope Today!

As the holiday season begins, give the gift that truly matters: Brain Health. Every dollar you donate to NAMI Dubuque stays local and helps us open our doors for those who need us most.

A $5 donation can fund materials for a Peer Support session.

It ensures a safe space for someone to share and connect in a Support Group.

It equips a family with tools from our Educational Workshops.

Let's make sure no one faces a brain health condition alone.

Grief often intensifies or sneaks back for a visit during the fall and winter seasons 🍂. Whether your loss was recent or long ago, it’s normal to question if others grieve as deeply as you do, or have the same emotions and feelings.

You don't have to navigate these heavy feelings alone. Join our supportive group for insight and companionship:
