What is Mental Illness? Types of Mental Illness NAMI California's Blog

NAMI FaithNet

Provides exciting new resources for utilization by NAMI members in their advocacy to their places of worship. These new modules are proving to be very helpful in developing ministry for those with a mental illness and their families in Faith Communities. These new modules are also designed to be helpful for advocating to our fellow parishioners who do not have a mental illness.

Please be assured that these modules are not intended to replace any of NAMI’s programs.  They are designed to work hand-in-hand with them.  The six-member NAMI National FaithNet advisory group strongly recommends taking NAMI’s Family to Family or Peer to Peer class before participating in Faith Community outreach.
