When communities experience loss and tragedy, our support for one another is more important than ever. NAMI Rhode Island is committed to providing support for its neighbors directly and indirectly affected by the senseless acts of violence at Brown University. In addition to our regularly scheduled support groups, we have reached out to trusted partners to provide additional resources to those in need.

Caregiving can be hard. The NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine is easy.

A little hope can go a long way. The new NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine is available now!

Providing care to someone with a mental health condition comes with unique challenges: Seeing someone you love in pain, navigating red tape and confusing systems, fighting stigma and myths about mental illness, and advocating for your loved one when no one else will.

To be a caregiver is to practice resilience, strength, and compassion, braving challenge after challenge. With the new NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine, you can find support rooted in lived experience and designed to help you access resources and find hope.

Available Monday Through Friday, 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM ET
