NAMI Rhode Island

NAMI Rhode Island, Rhode Island’s chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is there to help. NAMI RI meets individuals where they are and helps them connect with others who understand because they’ve been down a similar path themselves. Mental illnesses are brain disorders that are biologically based medical problems. Untreated, they can cause severe disturbances in thinking, feeling and relating. This results in substantially diminished capacity for dealing with the ordinary demands of life.

Mental illness can affect persons of any age and occur in any family. They are not caused by bad parenting and not evidence of weakness of character. NAMI offers understanding to anyone concerned about mental illnesses and the treatment of mental illness.
