About NAMI Rockland

NAMI Rockland is an affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one of the largest, grassroots mental health, self-help and advocacy organizations in the country. We work to educate, support, advocate, listen and lead to improve the lives of people with mental illness and their loved ones.

Community Support

NAMI members and volunteers consist of individuals with a lived experience of mental illness, relatives, friends and advocates working together to improve the lives of people affected by mental illness.

• Support Groups: Our support groups, HelpLine, and educational workshops are a valuable and FREE resource for the community.
• Community Partnerships: We collaborate with schools, churches and synagogues, civic organizations, and other non-profits to raise awareness.

Educational Presentations

We do this through presentations such as In Our Own Voice and Ending the Silence:

• In Our Own Voice: These presentations change attitudes, assumptions and ideas about people with mental health conditions. They provide a personal perspective of mental health conditions through leaders with lived experience.
• Ending the Silence: This engaging presentation helps middle and high school aged youth learn about the warning signs of mental health conditions and the steps to take if symptoms are shown.

Program Availability

Both programs are offered in-person and virtually. For more information call (845) 359-8785.
