NAMI Fresno is a small mental health care organization based in Fresno, California, that provides education, support, and advocacy for people affected by mental illness at no cost to the community. It operates as a membership organization, but participation in education and support does not require membership. The organization offers education classes for families with adult loved ones and children, for individuals with a personal diagnosis, and for providers working with clients living with mental illness, as well as support groups for families and for individuals affected. It also delivers speaking programs to reduce stigma and raise awareness, including presentations to businesses, schools, parents, providers, and consumers. All classes and programs are led by people with lived experience, either individuals with a diagnosis themselves or those who have family members living with illness. Local fundraising supports these programs through events such as the annual NAMIWalks in May and additional community activities.
