NAMI-WM was incorporated and tax exempt officially on January 13, 1983. In honor of this special day, we would like to dedicate our end of year fundraiser in Honor our founders: Harold and Ruth Stein, Kenneth Landon, Mary Garret, Barbara Howard and Michael Murphy. We have set a goal to raise $10,000 by January 13, 2024 to continue their mission and advocacy in the Western Mass community.

NAMI Homefront is a free, 6-session online educational program for families, caregivers and friends of military service members and vets with mental health conditions. Based on the nationally recognized NAMI Family-to-Family program, NAMI Homefront is designed to address the unique needs of family, caregivers and friends of those who have served or are currently serving our country. The program is taught by trained family members of service members/veterans living with mental health conditions.
In a country where 1 in 5 people are affected by a mental health condition, it's time for all of us to step up and change the conversation. Join Mayim Bialik and others and pledge to be #StigmaFree.
