Our Mission
NAMI Champaign County (IL) seeks to improve the lives of individuals who live with mental illness, as well as all those who love them through public awareness, support, education, and advocacy. We were founded in 1983 as Supportive Families of the Mentally Ill and later joined the NAMI alliance. We share the National Alliance on Mental Illness’s values, mission, and passion for mental health.
