Our 2016 Amplify Austin campaign is focused on supporting our youth mental health programs because 20% of all teens are living with a mental health condition yet only 50% are accessing treatment.
When you “crank up the giving” for NAMI Austin, you make it possible for us to engage teens, train school professionals and provide education and support for families—all at absolutely no cost! Check out KVUE’s recent coverage of our “Ending the Silence” program here.

Spread the word online!
In 2015, 43% of our donations came from your friends, neighbors and co-workers—people who didn’t know about our work until you told them by email, Facebook and Twitter.
