The San Fernando Valley AMI, or NAMI San Fernando Valley, is an all-volunteer, self-help support group for families and
friends of people who suffer from a major mental illness: Clinical
Depression, Bipolar (Manic-Depressive) Disorder, Schizophrenia,
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Pain Disorder, etc. We are based in the
City of Los Angeles in Southern California and are affiliated with the
National AMI (NAMI) in Washington D.C. and NAMI California in
Sacramento. We have a rich history of serving the community.
How can AMI help you? We can share our experiences, understanding
and compassion with you. We can tell you what worked for us what did
not. We can be your guide to treatment, housing and education
resources.
We are families helping families. For many of us, "finding AMI" was
the end of a nightmare and the beginning of hope.
