Advocacy


NAMI Texas's role as an advocacy organization grew from the need of its members - consumers and families - to effect a positive change in the response of society, government and business to an individual with a mental illness.

We seek to promote this change by providing science based information that "severe mental illnesses" are brain disorders that can be treated and managed effectively if an individual has access to a combination of medication, supportive counseling and community support services, including education and vocational training. By educating and informing the public, employers and policy makers, a higher value will be placed on recovery and the quality of life that a person with a severe mental illness can achieve.
