Joining NAMI

NAMI Virginia (state office) told us that for people interested in joining this future affiliate, please fill out a hard copy form (found here) instead of joining online. This is due to us not existing in the online system yet; therefore, you would not be able to join this future affiliate online.  On the hard copy form, the affiliate is "NAMI Virginia" and put in parentheses "future affiliate NAMI Southwest VA". If you pay by check, make the check out to NAMI Virginia and put "future affiliate NAMI Southwest Virginia" on the memo line. Please mail to NAMI Virginia, PO Box 8260, Richmond, Virginia 23226-0260. Any faxed membership forms should be faxed to (804) 285-8464.

 At this point in time, we need about three (3) more people for affiliate status.  For more information about what membership gives you and cost, please see the "Join NAMI" tab.

Clarification: You do not have to join NAMI in order to come to support group or classes. Those are completely free.  This post is for those who want to actually join NAMI to receive the magazine, newsletters, and have access to certain information on the NAMI site. You would also be eligible to train in various programming.
