Each day our staff field phone calls and emails from our community asking for support and resources - helping almost 1,000 people navigate their mental health journey.
NAMI was founded in Madison, WI. From the first open meeting in 1977, NAMI offered information on the availability of community and inpatient services as well as providing advocacy for individuals to acquire those services. We are excited to celebrate our 50th anniversary next year!
Support Groups are at the very core of the services we provide - connecting our community with trained facilitators and a safe place for sharing and healing.
Each year our NAMIWalks campaign raises crucial funds that support our work. NAMIWalks also builds awareness around mental illness in order to help break the stigma and ensure people know they are not alone. 2025 was a record-breaking year!
NAMI Dane County offers both Peer and Parent Peer Support in order to provide an extra level of one-on-one engagement for those seeking additional resources and support.
Our website offers a wide range of information which highlights our own programming, community resources for various human services, crisis intervention guidance, and ways to get involved in volunteering and advocacy.
