Mental Health in Baltimore

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) recognizes the unique challenges and opportunities for mental health in Baltimore. In our commitment to fostering a world where everyone affected by mental illness can lead healthy, fulfilling lives, NAMI engages actively in Baltimore City and County.

At NAMI Metropolitan Baltimore, we understand the importance of innovative resources and community education tools. We continue to deliver these tools, backed by the knowledge and support of individuals who have lived experience with mental illness. By offering a supportive community, we aim to empower and guide individuals on their journey to mental wellness. Together, we strive to build a community in Baltimore where mental health is a priority, and no one feels isolated in their struggle.

I'm a Youth or Young Adult

Youth and young adults who live with a mental health condition have different needs than adults. That's why NAMI Metro Baltimore offers programs specifically designed for youth, schools, and the people who care for them.
