Grassroots Advocacy

Learn how you can take action on issues regarding mental illnesses. NAMI Illinois is fighting hard to make our voices heard. The most effective way to express our ideas and vision, however, is through our members. Having a network of members willing to contact their legislators - via letter, email, phone calls or office visits regarding specific issues is essential.
