For more than 40 years, NAMI Maine has been the statewide voice for individuals and families affected by mental health challenges. As the Maine affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, we work to ensure that every person—no matter where they live or what they face—has access to support, understanding, and pathways to recovery. Through education, advocacy, and connection, NAMI Maine builds stronger communities where mental health is recognized, valued, and supported as a vital part of overall wellness.
What They Do
NAMI Maine (National Alliance on Mental Illness – Maine Chapter) provides hope, support, and education to anyone affected by mental health challenges. We empower individuals and families through free programs, peer and family support, crisis intervention, and public education that builds understanding and reduces stigma. From training teachers and first responders to supporting parents and youth, NAMI Maine ensures that help and healing are available across every corner of our state.
Impact
Each year, NAMI Maine reaches tens of thousands of Mainers through direct services, training, and advocacy. Thousands of youth and adults participate in suicide prevention and mental health education programs that save lives and foster resilience. Hundreds of volunteers and peer leaders deliver community-based support groups, the Maine Warm Line provides thousands of calls of comfort, and statewide advocacy continues to improve access to care and strengthen Maine’s mental health system.
Why This Matters
Mental illness touches one in five Mainers, yet stigma and isolation remain powerful barriers to recovery. NAMI Maine stands beside individuals and families so no one walks this journey alone. By building understanding, strengthening services, and advocating for change, NAMI Maine creates a more compassionate, informed, and connected Maine—where mental health is valued as an essential part of overall well-being.
