Only 40% of people with a mental health condition seek treatment.

We advocate, educate, and support the families, friends and people affected by mental health conditions.

SUPPORT OUR WORK

OUR MISSION

To provide advocacy, education, support, and public awareness so that all people impacted by mental illness and mental health conditions can build better lives

At NAMI Eastside, we are working to improve the quality of life for those affected by mental illness by shining a light on the realities that those living with mental illness face every day. We do this by sharing knowledge and helping to end the stigma associated with mental illness. To this end, we offer support groups as well as educational classes and presentations involving mental illness at various locations throughout eastern King County. We are creating a community of support and empowering those impacted by mental illness and making positive changes in the mental health care system through our advocacy work.

NAMI Eastside is a grassroots non-profit organization, part of the national NAMI organization, and an affiliate of NAMI Washington.

“I realized that NAMI Eastside is a place where people impacted by mental illness can come and get resources, support and education and not be seen as their illness.”
