NAMI Greater Houston NAMI Greater Houston envisions a healing community where all persons affected by mental illness can experience resiliency on the road to wellness.

The mission of NAMI Greater Houston is to provide advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives. NAMI Greater Houston is challenging one of the greatest unmet needs in society: Mental Illness. One in five families in any given year is touched in some way with a serious mental illness. Mental illnesses are biological brain disorders. In fact, mental disorders together account for more than 15 percent of the overall burden of disease from all causes--even more than for all forms of cancer. While mental illnesses have an immense impact on individuals and families, less than half of those who suffer from these disorders seek care. The prevalence of stigma, shame and guilt are the most acknowledged reasons why many people suffer and are denied full participation in society. For many, mental illness is still a taboo topic, and is an illness that is treated as if it is unrelated to our physical well-being. Mental illness deserves the same compassion, understanding and access to treatment and support in the same manner that is given to other biological illnesses. At NAMI Greater Houston we support individuals living with mental illness and their families, and we advocate ensuring that they are treated respectfully and fairly. We envision a future where there is a well-funded community-based mental health system using proven quality treatments, and where people with mental illness are not heavily represented in the criminal justice system. We also envision a well-informed public that understands that we can change the face of mental illness through support, education and advocacy. At the heart of our efforts, we are the catalysts of change in our community and every step we take we strive to offer hope, reform and health to all Houstonians through support, education, and advocacy. We welcome you to our page and we hope that you will find the information and resources you desire, and that you will join forces with us as we stand for change! Learn More:

💚 Every caregiving journey is different. Every caregiver deserves support.

This National Family Caregivers Month, NAMI Greater Houston is proud to partner with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. to recognize the dedication of families, friends, and loved ones who provide care and support to those living with mental health conditions.

Schizophrenia doesn't look the same for everyone. It can develop at different stages of life, and symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech or behavior, and cognitive challenges can affect each person differently.

For caregivers, understanding these differences is an important step toward providing meaningful, compassionate support.**

Through awareness, education, and community partnerships, we can help families feel more informed, supported, and empowered throughout their caregiving journeys.

💚 To every caregiver: Your compassion matters, your dedication matters, and your well-being matters, too.

🎥 Watch and share this video from our partner Teva to help spread awareness and understanding.

Together, we can build a community where no caregiver has to navigate mental health challenges alone.

💙💜 Stronger Women. Safer Families. Healthier Communities.

Building a healthier community starts with awareness, understanding, and the willingness to have conversations that matter.

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day!

Mental health is more than a conversation we have once a year. It’s a part of our everyday lives, shaping how we think, feel, connect, and experience the world around us.

Yet for too many people, stigma, misunderstanding, and barriers to care make seeking support harder than it should be.

At NAMI Greater Houston, we believe that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported. No one should have to navigate mental health challenges alone.

This , we encourage you to make awareness meaningful. Check in on a loved one. Listen without judgment. Advocate for accessible mental health care. And remember to extend that same compassion to yourself.

💚 Awareness starts the conversation. Compassion keeps it going. Action creates change.

Together, we can build a community where mental health is prioritized and support is within reach.

Mental health check-in 💙 but actually answer it.

Have you eaten? Slept enough? Talked to someone you trust? Left your room? Been pretending you’re okay when you’re not?

Sometimes checking in with yourself is the first step toward getting the support you need. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out.

This Mental Illness Awareness Week, take a moment to check in with yourself and someone you care about. 💙
