Peer support is critical for people experiencing mental illness: offering each other empathy and validation gives hope to everyone in recovery. Since 1981, NAMI PGC has used its evidence-based model to provide free, quality mental health support to individuals and families in Prince George’s County, where many lack access to health insurance and available providers. Residents of all ages participate in family and recovery support groups, classes, and presentations that improve their coping skills, reduce social stigma, and empower them to advocate for themselves. Special programs for returning citizens aim to reduce the county’s recidivism rate while trainings for community partners and law enforcement ensure that people in mental distress get the help they need when they encounter the police. By creating spaces for community members to connect, NAMI sends a clear message: you are not alone.
