Nami New Hampshire
NAMI New Hampshire (The National Alliance on Mental Illness) is a statewide education,  support and advocacy organization working for a quality, comprehensive mental health service system. Founded in 1980 by a few New Hampshire families who saw the need to improve mental health services, we, along with other consumer groups, providers and advocates work together to be the voice of the mentally ill and their families. NAMI NH exists to help restore hope and provide assistance along the journey toward recovery. Please feel free to contact us with your questions, comments, or suggestions.
