When you or a loved one is facing mental health challenges, you may not know where to turn for information, resources, and support. It’s important to know you’re not alone. NAMI Metro Baltimore provides programs to help individuals, families, and communities expand their knowledge about mental illness and find empathetic support.

NAMI’s Signature Programs

NAMI’s Signature education and support groups programs are offered at no cost to participants throughout the Metropolitan Baltimore area.

Each of the NAMI Signature programs is:

• Peer-Led: All classes and support groups are led by trained peers who understand mental illness first-hand.

• Group-Based: Classes and support groups provide the opportunity for mutual support and positive impact. You can experience compassion and reinforcement by connecting with peers who relate to your experiences. Through your participation, you also have the opportunity to help others grow.

• Confidential: NAMI’s programs are a confidential place to learn from shared experiences.

• Recovery-Focused: Learn to identify and access resources in the Baltimore area to support recovery. Because recovery is a personal journey, NAMI Metropolitan Baltimore never recommends a specific medical therapy or treatment approach.

Community Education

NAMI Metro Baltimore engages community members through innovative educational workshop to change perspective and challenge stigma. Programs are available for those looking to better understand mental illness and for community leaders who work with people impacted by mental health issues.

Dr. MacKinnon has been studying treatment-resistant mood disorders for twenty years and is considered an expert on the topic.  He recently published a book titled Still Down: What to Do When Antidepressants Fail, that explores his professional experiences with nine patients.  Still Down has been called informative for patients and psychiatry professionals alike.
