NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Greater Corpus Christi is a mental health organization that focuses on education, advocacy, and support for those with a mental health condition and their families and friends. Established in 2016, our organization provides bi-monthly support groups, attends numerous health fairs, teaches classes, holds a monthly event that promotes mental health, provides opportunities for mental health advocacy, and hosts awareness events - all at no cost to community members.

We are all volunteers - there is no paid staff - but we work hard to provide the community with a safe and judgment-free space to learn about mental illness.

Each year NAMI GCC holds special events, such as our Celebrity Jeopardy Fundraiser and panel discussions on mental health, Minority Mental Health, and more. We also co-host the annual Suicide Prevention Symposium - this past September was the 10th Annual event, and we had an amazing turnout - more than 200 people. NAMI GCC also gives presentations throughout the Coastal Bend, and we provide Crisis Intervention Training to new Corpus Christi Police Department cadets.
