How membership works
By becoming a member of NAMI, you become one of the thousands of Americans advocating for the fair treatment of all people, particularly those who suffer from mental illnesses. And you actually become a member of three organizations at once: NAMI national, NAMI Colorado and NAMI Colorado Springs. Each of these organizations is involved, at some level, in delivering the three pillars of NAMI's mission: education, support and advocacy. But in very general terms, you can think of them as working on complementary levels.
• NAMI national advocates for people and families with mental illness at the highest levels of government. It collects and dispenses information about mental health research and develops education programs (like Family-to-Family, Basics, etc.) that it makes available to state organizations and local affiliates.
• NAMI Colorado, a state organization, provides trainings and some resources to Colorado's 14 local affiliates, including NAMI Colorado Springs. It also works to affect health care policy on the state level.
• NAMI Colorado Springs focuses on delivering programs and services to people in the Pikes Peak region, while also taking part in regional efforts to improve mental health awareness and care.
Your membership fee is divided among all three of those organizations.
