Hello and Welcome to the Martin Affiliate of NAMI Tennessee homepage.  We are a volunteer (grassroots), non-profit, self-help organization which was established in Martin in 1997.  It is our wish that through these pages you will find out about our many grassroot programs available to families and friends of persons who have  mental illness and consumers of mental health services. 

Through our affiliation with NAMI Tennessee we help families develop understanding, skills, and strengths they need to cope with mental illness.  We encourage relatives, consumers, friends and professionals interested in furthering the goals of NAMI Tennessee to join our continued efforts.

NAMI (The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill)  is among the top 10 charitable organizations in the country and is the fastest growing grassroots organization in the United States.   To learn more about NAMI, NAMI Tennessee and the NAMI Martin Affiliate goal's we encourage you to take some time to read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)  found below.
