NAMI Southeastern Arizona was founded in 1999 and is one of several chapters in Arizona, comprised of consumers, family members, friends and supporters.   Efforts are focused on:

SUPPORT-- 
Families & friends find strength and understanding through sharing common experiences with others who have "been there".

EDUCATION--
Members work to eradicate the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding mental illness by educating ourselves and others within our communities.

ADVOCACY--
Members advocate at the local, state and national levels for improved treatments and services, and better access to quality mental health care.

RESEARCH--
Through membership dues and other fundraising efforts, NAMI Southeastern Arizona supports continued research on brain disorders--their possible causes, and improved treatments.
