In 1988 a handful of Beaufort County families, who were all trying to cope with the mental illness of a loved one, met through their association with the Coastal Empire Community Mental Health Center. Their first goal was to buy two apartments in Hilton Head for rent to the mentally ill at reduced cost. They formed the Beaufort Alliance for the Mentally Ill and continued to meet informally to supp

ort each other and find ways to educate the community about serious mental illness. In 1991 NAMI Beaufort County was officially recognized as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Emotions are like waves. They roll in and roll out. Some waves and barely ripples and some are huge. We have to learn to ride the waves of our emotions and remember that, like the ocean, emotions roll in and roll out.

Wise words from our friends at Bluffton Self Help! We're proud to be part of the amazing organizations and non-profits who work so hard to support this community!

One of the most important things we've learned over the years is that helping doesn't always mean having every answer ourselves.

Some challenges require unique expertise. Others call for multiple organizations working together to meet a need.

That's why compassionate, guided access is such an important part of our work, allowing us to pave pathways for next steps so no one navigates a difficult season alone.

We're deeply grateful for those who answer the call to bridge the gaps, making it possible for more neighbors to access the support they need when they need it most. 💖
