Caregiving can be hard. The NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine is easy.

Providing care to someone with a mental health condition comes with unique challenges: Seeing someone you love in pain, navigating red tape and confusing systems, fighting stigma and myths about mental illness, and advocating for your loved one when no one else will.

To be a caregiver is to practice resilience, strength, and compassion, braving challenge after challenge. With the new NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine, you can find support rooted in lived experience and designed to help you access resources and find hope.

If nothing else feels easy, finding experienced support can be. Take a moment today to connect with the NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine.


How Can You Help?

You can spread the word! Let your caregivers know to call 1-800-950-6264 and press “4” or text “Family” to 62640 to connect with a skilled NAMI Family Caregiver HelpLine Specialist today.
