NAMI Maine will be closed on Monday, Jan. 19th, 2026 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

It is at this time that we remember the work of Rev. Dr. King and his powerful words that helped to turn the tide of this country.
His messages of equality, civil rights, and hope still ring in the ears of Americans to this day.

“Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
