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 bi

ological 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:

🚀 NAMI Greater Houston Is On the Move!

As we look toward the future, NAMI Greater Houston is embarking on an exciting strategic planning process that will help shape our vision, impact, and growth over the next three years.

On June 27, our Board of Directors, community leaders, and key stakeholders will come together to explore where we've been, where we're going, and how we can continue advancing our mission of improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness throughout Greater Houston and Southeast Texas.

We're honored to have Jackie St. Germain, LCSW, MBA, serving as facilitator for this important work. Jackie is a respected leader in mental health advocacy, education, systems change, and community engagement whose career has included executive leadership roles in behavioral health and her current work with UTHealth Behavioral Sciences Campus.

Together, we'll focus on:
âś… Expanding our community impact
âś… Strengthening advocacy and awareness
âś… Growing sustainable funding opportunities
âś… Advancing innovative initiatives in Workplace & Frontline Wellness, NAMI On Campus, and Faith & Mental Health
âś… Building a stronger future for mental health support across our region

This is more than a planning session—it's the next chapter in NAMI Greater Houston's story.

Stay tuned. Big things are ahead.

Today, NAMI Greater Houston participated in a justice-focused event, the 4th Annual Justice Conference presented by Justice for Evan Griffin Lee, held on June 6, 2026, at Brentwood Baptist Church Campus.

The conference brought together community leaders, elected officials, judges, advocates, and concerned citizens for an inspiring conversation about justice for individuals involved in our jails and prisons, as well as the intersection of mental illness and involvement with the criminal justice system.

We were honored to join distinguished leaders including retired State Representative Alma Allen, Representative Ron Reynolds, members of the judiciary, council members, and community advocates who are working tirelessly to advance equity, dignity, and support for some of our most vulnerable populations.

Powerful and life-saving work is happening across our city and state to amplify the voices of those too often unheard. NAMI Greater Houston remains committed to advocating for mental health awareness, access to care, and meaningful reforms that support individuals and families impacted by mental illness and justice system involvement.

Last week, NAMI Greater Houston was honored to participate in an important community dialogue at the Ismaili Center Houston focused on Children's Mental Health in a Digital Environment.

As technology continues to shape the lives of young people, conversations about the impact of digital engagement on mental health have never been more important. We were grateful to join fellow mental health professionals, community leaders, and elected officials in exploring challenges, opportunities, and solutions that support the well-being of children and families.

A special thank you to the Rupani Development Initiatives (RDI) for elevating this critical topic and creating space for meaningful discussion, collaboration, and action. Together, we can build a future where children are empowered to thrive both online and offline.
