NAMI Yakima is a membership organization. We rely on our members to help lead the charge to raise awareness about mental health for EVERY person and family touched by mental illness.

One in four Americans will suffer from a mental illness in their lifetime. One in 17 deal with a serious, ongoing illness like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression.

Today, treatment is effective and recovery is possible. For as little as $5 per year, you can Join NAMI Yakima today to help us contiue to spread that message of hope, treatment and recovery!

Your membership dues help underwrite the administrative costs of the support, education, and advocacy programs we offer our Yakima Valley communities.

When you join NAMI Yakima, you also become a member of NAMI Washington State and our national NAMI organization. You'll receive up to date publications and other resources from NAMI Yakima and its state and national partners. You'll also have 'Members Only' access at www.nami.org.

While service is at the heart of our mission, NAMI Yakima is more than a support group, an education class or a listening ear in times of trouble.

NAMI Yakima is also a family and peer led grassroots mental health movement. It is our goal to change the way mental illnesses are viewed and addressed in today's society.

We work tirelessly to break down stigma about mental illness, to advocate for public policy that supports these aims, and to seek funding to bring our programs to those that need them, free of charge, all of the time.
