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.
