Our NAMI SFV website includes important information on how to help your loved one during a mental health crisis, and how to help during recovery and long term care.

NAMI SFV provides help for family members, caregivers, friends and for those living with mental illness. On this web site, you will find schedules of informative free classes, support groups, expert speaker meetings and other helpful information. You can also join us as a member, donate to support the important work we do, make a memorial or tribute donation in the name of a loved one, or get involved as a volunteer.

You will also find ways to speak out and speak up. NAMI San Fernando Valley advocates for mental health services. We work tirelessly to eliminate stigma of mental illness. We invite you to answer the call to action, take part in advocacy activities and to contribute your comments to our RATINGS and blog pages.

Mental illness is an illness like any other.
There is no cure
There are effective medications and treatments
There is hope for full recovery.

Each year, NAMI San Fernando Valley takes part in NAMI WALKS For the Mind of America, a 5K fundraising and stigma-busting walk. If you are able to walk with us, you will help us take another step towards overcoming the shame and isolation that families and individuals cope with in addition to the challenges of their illness. This year our 2010 NAMI WALK is October 2nd in Santa Monica and includes a breathtaking ocean view walk and an opportunity to get to know and enjoy others living with mental illness in our community.

Join us! NAMI WALKS a fun, meaningful way to make a difference.
