Welcome to NAMI Southwestern Pennsylvania

We believe all adults, children and adolescents affected by mental illness, as well as their connected family members and involved health care professionals, need a collective voice that promotes improvements in quality of care and cultivates the development of, and access to, resources encouraging recovery efforts. Staff, board members and volunteers are dedicated to meeting these goals by:

• Offering support and education to those with mental illness, as well as their families and caregivers.
• Education teachers and mental health professionals.
• Advocating for sufficient funds, services, research legislation and policies to protect the rights of those with mental illnesses, while encouraging system reforms.
• Serving as a liaison with state, regional and national stakeholders to increase awareness and promote understanding of mental illness.
• Providing education, information and referral services for the region as well as technical assistance to affiliates and support groups.
• Incorporating feedback from consumers of mental health services to continually ensure they are receiving the highest level of care possible.
