2009 Marks the 25th Anniversary of NAMI Mercer
In the early 1980’s, a small group of concerned family members came together to work for better care for their loved ones with mental illness. They worked diligently to educate themselves on mental illness and the most effective treatments. NAMI Mercer, chartered in October, 1984 as a non-profit, charitable organization, is the product of their grassroots efforts.
Within a few years, the Mercer County group affiliated with the National Alliance on Mental Illness. A major focus has always been placed on changing the mental health system so that loved ones can have lives of quality and respect without discrimination and stigma.
