About NAMI
NAMI Plymouth Area (your local affiliate) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides SUPPORT, EDUCATION and ADVOCACY throughout the Plymouth MA area on behalf of individuals and families affected by mental illness. NAMI Plymouth Area is governed by a Board of Directors. While anyone is welcome to call us for information or attend our events, we primarily focus on reaching out to Plymouth & the surrounding towns of Carver, Duxbury, Halifax, Hanover, Hanson, Kingston, Marion, Marshfield, Pembroke, Plympton, Scituate, Wareham, & Whitman.
NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health. Today, we are an association of hundreds of local affiliates, state organizations and volunteers who work in your community to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available to those in need.
