NAMI Colorado Springs creates and cultivates a welcoming community of peers who educate, support and advocate for people and families navigating mental health conditions. We offer no-cost education programs and support groups in both in-person and virtual settings; train and present to audiences ranging from middle school students to police officers; and deliver resource and referral services 9 to 5, weekdays. With volunteers and partners, we fight stigma and champion recovery.
Mental illness can be found near the core of the most entrenched issues in our society, including homelessness, criminal justice, substance use and suicide. We believe that improving mental health — and access to resources — is key to making meaningful progress on any of these fronts. And from experience, we know that people and families who successfully manage mental health issues can experience full, dynamic lives.
With three staff members either trained or in training to become peer support specialists, we seek to deliver more one-on-one peer support to community members living with mental health conditions — and also one-on-one support to their loved ones.
In 2025 surveys, 98 percent of support group participants agreed with this statement: “At this support group, I receive support that I am not able to get elsewhere.”
“"Week by week, I was able to better move forward and not get as paralyzed with the rest of daily life."” — 2025 graduate of NAMI's Family-to-Family course
