Who We Are

The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill of Dauphin County is a non-profit organization of people united by mutual needs and concerns. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for victims of brain disorders (mental illnesses), their families and friends.
NAMI Dauphin County helps both the consumer and their loved ones overcome the normal feelings of guilt, shame, frustration, loneliness, helplessncss, etc. NAMI Dauphin County provides a support group and treatment resources for both the consumer and family members.

• We meet once a month to understand and cope with mental illness and to acquire the strength and support we need to face difficult situations.

• We share problems and frustrations that no one else can understand unless they have been in that situation.

• We work together to determine how we can affect the mental health system.

• We develop friendships that allow each of us to grow beyond the pain and suffering mental illness brings into the family. We also share solutions to problems and frustrations. These are feelings that no one else can understand.
