Persons with mental illness and their families must not only endure the initial shock of the illness, but then face a challenging future learning to cope with the illness and the false information and stigma that often surrounds mental illness.

If you feel alone because you or someone you know suffers with a serious mental illness,
well...no, your not.

NAMI of Chester County is a grassroots membership organization that provides mutual support, education and advocacy for individuals and family affected by serious mental illness. We are a self-help organization providing compassion, understanding and a supportive atmosphere to help families whose loved ones suffer from severe and persistent mental illness.

Our local chapter invites you to participate in our general meetings and our support groups and our educational workshops such as NAMI Family to Family, NAMI Hand to Hand and NAMI Peer to Peer.

If you want to advocate for your loved one and make positive changes to the mental health system become a NAMI of Chester County advocate.
