Who we are

About NAMI Tuscaloosa

NAMI Tuscaloosa is the local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization. We are committed to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness in the Tuscaloosa area through education, support, and advocacy.

Our organization is made up of dedicated volunteers—many with lived experience—who believe that no one should face mental health challenges alone. We offer free support groups, educational programs, outreach efforts, and community events aimed at raising awareness and reducing stigma around mental illness.

We currently hold our Education, Support and Connection Meetings on the second Monday of every month at the Episcopal Church in Tuscaloosa. These meetings are open to anyone seeking community, connection, and resources for navigating mental health.

At NAMI Tuscaloosa, we foster connection, compassion, and hope. Whether you're living with a mental health condition, supporting a loved one, or simply want to learn more, we’re here for you. Together, we are working to create a community where mental health is prioritized and everyone feels supported.
