National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)

The "National Alliance on Mental Illness" (NAMI) at UCLA is a student-led, student-run mental health club based on the nation's largest mental health advocacy organization. NAMI seeks to combat the stigma surrounding mental health issues and advocate for the improvement of individuals affected by such challenges, particularly within the Los Angeles area and the UCLA community. Our purpose is to establish a safe and inclusive platform where individuals can find support and solace to address their struggles. Our goal is to foster empathy across diverse backgrounds and communities, encouraging those facing difficulties to seek assistance when needed. Through comprehensive educational efforts and grassroots initiatives, we seek to raise awareness about NAMI and its resources to promote a holistic approach to mental health advocacy.
