Advocacy on Policy Issues and at the Capitol

Advocacy efforts are a major part of NAMI Minnesota's mission to support persons with mental illness and their families and to work to enact positive changes in the mental health system. NAMI is an active participant on work groups and committees that address issues related to mental illness, including: health care, housing, supportive employment, crisis services, mental health concerns in correctional facilities, access to treatment, and more.

NAMI Minnesota maintains a strong presence at the Minnesota Legislature by advocating and supporting issues important to persons with mental illness and their families.  NAMI also works with the Mental Health Legislative Network on areas of common concern to a variety of member organizations.
