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.

Every NAMIWalks participant has a story. This week, we’re highlighting Ann. 💚
“It’s my daughter that inspires me to walk for NAMI, and I want to recognize the many families who endure the hardships that come with supporting a loved one with mental illness. I walk because NAMIWalks gives me the support of a community that truly understands the pain of mental illness. When I ask family and friends to donate to NAMIWalks, I take satisfaction in knowing I am supporting an organization that works to end the stigma of mental illness. NAMIWalks reminds me that I am not alone and represents my hope to be able to talk openly about mental illness without fear of judgment. By walking, I know I am making a difference in the lives of persons with mental illness. I look forward to walking again in 2026!”
