NAMI Hawaii (National Alliance on Mental Illness)

NAMI Hawaii, the Hawaii affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is a trusted nonprofit organization that provides free mental health education, support, and advocacy programs to residents across the state. Located in Honolulu, Hawaii, the organization serves individuals living with mental health conditions, as well as their families, caregivers, and communities. Through structured support groups and peer-led educational programs, NAMI Hawaii creates safe spaces where participants can share their experiences, learn from one another, and build resilience together. Whether through NAMI Family-to-Family classes, Peer-to-Peer education, or FaithNet spiritual support, the organization ensures that no one walks the path of mental health recovery alone.

NAMI Hawaii also plays a critical role in community awareness and outreach. Its programming includes mental health seminars for schools, faith-based institutions, and healthcare organizations, along with its annual state conference and crisis intervention team (CIT) training for law enforcement. With a mission rooted in empowerment and compassion, NAMI Hawaii helps bridge the gap between mental health services and the people who need them most. The organization provides vital resources for navigating diagnoses, promoting self-care, improving communication, and preparing for crises—all at no cost to the community.
