Mission and programs · 2025

• Support benefited 3,600 people and includes direct client services such as no barrier mental health support groups and the NAMI-Whatcom Helpline. NAMI-Whatcom direct support starts with a staff-led helpline. This service helps people find mental health resources for themselves or a loved one when they are unsure of where to turn. Our support groups are peer-led, meaning that the people leading the groups share important life experiences with the participants of that program and speak from the perspective of an equal. The groups are accessible to anyone regardless of a formal diagnosis. Group attendees listen and support each other through sharing experiences in a way that fights the stigma and isolation of mental illness, creating a supportive community. We also provide short term 1:1 peer support through the Whatcom Peer Collaborative.

  Expenses $32,000

• Education consists of Ending the Silence, In Our Own Voice, Family to Family, and Peer to Peer. NAMI-Whatcom teaches classes for those affected by mental illness and provide presentations that empower volunteer speakers and inspire the public with stories of mental health recovery. Family education builds community within the classes provided while providing clarity and strategies relevant to helping a loved one living with mental illness. Our presentations to the public feature individuals living in recovery from mental illness. These presenters share their stories of how they have overcome the challenges of a mental health condition and speak of the vibrant lives they have forged for themselves. 1,438 people attended our classes.

  Expenses $26,748

• Outreach includes NAMI Whatcom regularly offers five yearly public education forums open to anyone interested in mental health. We also offer Spanish language specific outreach to the Latine community in Whatcom county offering support and education in the field. We partner with VAMOS, Mercy Housing and the ARC of Whatcom County for the Latine outreach. We provide resources at many public events, the Bellingham Library, and to mental health providers with an overall benefit to 1,609 people.
