NAMI York Mission
We are people with mental illness (peers), family members and friends who offer Support, Hope, Understanding and Education.  We understand the effects of mental illness when it strikes; how difficult it is for you as a peer, your family members, friends and caregivers to cope and live with this disease; how hard it is to enter the mental health system; and the stigma that goes along with the disease.  We can and are making a difference by standing together.
You are not alone.
