Next Peer to Peer Class Starts 5/6 - Register Now! 〰️
We are a volunteer organization made up of family, friends, and individuals whose lives have been impacted by mental illness. Through lived experience, we work together to help community members seeking recovery for themselves, family, or friends to navigate our local mental health system and available resources. In addition to offering support and education, we also advocate for increased programs and services to allow for hope, recovery, and wellness in a society free from stigma. Click here, to learn more.

In keeping with NAMI’s values regarding nondiscrimination and with applicable federal law, NAMI San Luis Obispo County shall include in bylaws, operating policies and procedures and other relevant policy documents, explicit statements that require the organization to embrace the broadest possible definition of inclusion and nondiscrimination.
NAMI San Luis Obispo County shall collect a baseline of members’ voluntarily supplied demographic information. Systems shall be put in place to protect the confidentiality of this information; demographic information will only be reported in the aggregate.
NAMI San Luis Obispo County will reach out to and welcome the community at large through our recruitment, marketing, public education, and awareness activities. NAMI San Luis Obispo County will strive to support recruitment and retention of a diverse and inclusive membership and leadership. Whenever there is a demand and the interests of members can best be served by support through groups sharing some affinity, including but not limited to lived experience or primary language, NAMI San Luis Obispo County shall offer multiple support groups to address those needs.
