The National Alliance on Mental Illness in San Diego (NAMI San Diego) is the community’s voice on mental illness. We are a part of grass-roots, nonprofit, national NAMI organization, and also an affiliate of NAMI California. NAMI San Diego was founded in 1978 by family members of people with mental illness. We have a threefold mission:
‣ Support people with mental illnesses and their families by helping them find coping mechanisms for their daily struggle with brain disorders.
‣ Educate people who have mental illness, their families, and the general public about mental illness with the goal of dispelling ignorance and stigma.
‣ Advocate for more research and an improved system of mental health services across the nation. At the heart of NAMI San Diego’s mission is the sharing of information and striving to end the stigma associated with mental illness. To this end, we offer a Helpline, support groups, educational meetings, newsletters, a lending library and a number of classes on mental illness held at various locations throughout San Diego County.

We’re looking for passionate volunteers to join our Ending the Silence presenter team!

Ending the Silence (ETS) is an educational presentation that helps middle school, high school, and college students learn about mental health, recognize warning signs, and know how to seek help.

As an ETS presenter, you’ll:
🎤 Share your personal story or support perspective
📚 Educate students, parents, and school staff
💡 Help break stigma and spark hope in our community

No prior speaking experience needed. We provide training and support. All you need is your voice and your willingness to make a difference.

📩 Interested in volunteering? Email signatureprograms@namisd.org to get started!

Together, we can end the silence. 💚
