Caregiving can be challenging.
The new NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine is easy.
We’re excited to share that the NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine is launching today!
To be a caregiver means seeing someone you love in pain, navigating red tape and complex systems, and facing stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental illness. It means advocating for your loved one when no one else will, showing resilience and strength day after day, often at your own expense. Being a caregiver is to embark on a long and difficult journey, though the rewards are tremendous and well worth it.
Supporting caregivers for family members with mental illness is key to the NAMI Alliance. This is why we are launching a dedicated HelpLine just for caregivers and their unique needs.
The NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine will provide:
- Free, confidential, peer-led support
- Practical guidance, trusted resources, and help navigating systems
- Compassionate conversations with HelpLine volunteers who truly understand because of their own lived experiences
- Support that affirms caregivers deserve care, too
