NAMI Southern Arizona devotes its efforts to: individuals with mental illness, their family members and the public. NAMI of Southern Arizona’s ongoing goals are to overcome the ignorance, misinformation, misconceptions and apathy that prevent true understanding and meaningful help from reaching persons with serious mental illness.
NAMI Southern Arizona devotes its efforts to: services to which individuals with a mental illness may be entitled and for legislation and funding of programs that will ensure quality community care, housing and services for people with mental illness. NAMI Southern Arizona has advocates on staff to assist in learning about mental health and utilizing the mental health system already in place. Based on needs, our advocates can assist in directing people to local resources. Advocates can provide peer support, but are not a substitute for counseling. To speak with an advocate, call our office M-Th, 10am-3pm at (520)622-5582.
