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.

Find your “third space” which is a social environment outside your home and work. A “third space” can foster community, connection and personal growth. Some places you can look to find your community could be cafe and coffee shops, parks and community centers, libraries and bookstores, online platforms, gyms, church community. You can find a hobby you enjoy and enroll in a class for it, for example, dance class, tennis class, and art class.

Every NAMIWalks participant has a story. This week, we’re highlighting Rodger. 💚

“My favorite part of Walk Day is coming together and hearing so many different stories. It’s powerful to be in that community. I walk to remind people that mental health is just as important as physical health. You wouldn’t shame someone for having cancer, and mental health should be no different.
To anyone struggling: don’t give up. Even in the darkest moments, you are not alone. Someone is there for you.”
