NAMI Mercer (National Alliance on Mental Illness)

NAMI Mercer is a nonprofit organization of families and individuals dedicated to improving the quality of life of people affected by mental illness. We advocate for lives of quality and respect without discrimination and stigma and provide free educational programs, support, and resources to empower families and persons with mental illness.

NAMI Mercer meets the challenge of mental illness by:
  • Providing opportunities for mutual support and education for families and friends of people coping with the challenges of mental illness.
  • Advocating for a system of care that will assure effective and evidence-based services for those who are affected by brain disorders.
  • Promoting understanding and acceptance of those with mental illness and eliminating the stigma associated with brain disorders.

The Future We Seek: Families and people with mental illness will realize their full potential in a respectful and understanding society.

  • There will be no stigma attached to mental illness.
  • There will be no difference in insurance coverage for treatment of mental or physical illnesses.
  • All people with mental illness and their families will have complete access to the most effective support and services.
  • An empathetic environment will allow people with mental illness to be full participants in the community.
  • Families will be better qualified to help.
  • Every person with mental illness will be able to live and work as independently as possible, and enjoy an enhanced quality of life.
  • Mercer County will be the model of an effectively functioning mental health system for the families and individuals in need of these services.
