Our impact
For over 45 years, NAMI Seattle has been a trusted source of support, education, and advocacy for our community.
“I'm really grateful and glad that you talked to us. I often feel very alone or weird because many kids my age don't understand. But, now I'm sure they would be more supportive of me.”
— Student and Ending the Silence participant
“Before I took the [Family-to-Family] course, I felt alone and overwhelmed dealing with my daughter's mental illness. By taking this course, I have met others who are going through the same things I am and have learned about many resources that I never knew existed.”
— Family-to-Family Graduate
