There is hope.
You are not alone! We provide an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding of what you confront when you, or someone you love, has a mental illness. We hope that you will join us for one of the many opportunities we offer.
NAMI McHenry County’s mission is to give our community a safe place to find hope and support on the journey to improve mental health

Our programs provide 1:1 peer support, support groups, and skill-building workshops for individuals and families dealing with mental illness, all from staff with the unique understanding of lived experience.

Education
NAMI offers a wide range of evidence-based educational opportunities for those suffering from mental illness, their friends and families, and their communities. You can register for classes at no cost, or get access to more information and resources.
