NAMI Greater Houston

NAMI Greater Houston NAMI Greater Houston envisions a healing community where all persons affected by mental illness can experience resiliency on the road to wellness.
(1)

The mission of NAMI Greater Houston is to provide advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives. NAMI Greater Houston is challenging one of the greatest unmet needs in society: Mental Illness. One in five families in any given year is touched in some way with a serious mental illness. Mental illnesses are bi

ological brain disorders. In fact, mental disorders together account for more than 15 percent of the overall burden of disease from all causes--even more than for all forms of cancer. While mental illnesses have an immense impact on individuals and families, less than half of those who suffer from these disorders seek care. The prevalence of stigma, shame and guilt are the most acknowledged reasons why many people suffer and are denied full participation in society. For many, mental illness is still a taboo topic, and is an illness that is treated as if it is unrelated to our physical well-being. Mental illness deserves the same compassion, understanding and access to treatment and support in the same manner that is given to other biological illnesses. At NAMI Greater Houston we support individuals living with mental illness and their families, and we advocate ensuring that they are treated respectfully and fairly. We envision a future where there is a well-funded community-based mental health system using proven quality treatments, and where people with mental illness are not heavily represented in the criminal justice system. We also envision a well-informed public that understands that we can change the face of mental illness through support, education and advocacy. At the heart of our efforts, we are the catalysts of change in our community and every step we take we strive to offer hope, reform and health to all Houstonians through support, education, and advocacy. We welcome you to our page and we hope that you will find the information and resources you desire, and that you will join forces with us as we stand for change! Learn More:

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) officers and law enforcement partners for joining us at the 2026 Pathways to Hope Conference! 💙

We were proud to recognize Officer David Perez, Deputy Saeid Balaei, Deputy Eric Marquez, Deputy Crystal School, Kisha Lorio, and Deputy Austin Roper for their commitment to serving individuals and families experiencing mental health crises.

Every compassionate response matters. Your willingness to listen, de-escalate, advocate and intervene with dignity can change the course of a crisis and sometimes, save a life.

At NAMI Greater Houston, we deeply appreciate the officers who continue to strengthen the bridge between public safety and mental health. Thank you for showing what it means to serve our communities with patience, empathy and humanity.

We see your work. We value your partnership. And we thank you for being part of the pathway to hope. 💚

A longtime Houston resident and passionate mental health advocate, Suzy is using her growing platform to spark vital conversations about mental health and su***de loss. Her newly released single, “Rising Out of the Ashes,” is a deeply personal anthem written after the unexpected loss of her husband to su***de.

As Suzy shares:

“This song is a reminder that even when we experience a ‘dumpster fire of a year,’ there is still hope that we can come out of the fire stronger.”

Come experience her powerful message of resilience, healing, and renewed hope alongside meaningful conversations and valuable mental health resources at Pathways to Hope.
