NAMI Lowcountry

NAMI Lowcountry NAMI Lowcountry strives to improve the quality of life for those affected by mental health conditions through support, education and research.

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.

This is a complicated diagram but worth the look. These diagnoses share so many common characteristics that is can be hard to know what is what. If you or your loved one or child may have any of these symptoms, be their advocate and know details that you can provide to a doctor. The more educated you are, the better help you can get for your loved one.

Goals for moving forward and improving your mental health every day.
