NAMI Oregon

Finding support in a space where you feel seen and understood can make a difference.

NAMIs in Oregon offer demographic and culturally specific support groups for individuals living with mental health conditions and for loved ones supporting someone experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. These FREE, peer-led groups create spaces for connection, understanding, and community across Oregon.

From LGBTQ+ peer groups to women’s groups, veteran support, etc., there is a community here for you.

May 3–9, 2026, marks the 9th Annual Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week.

This week is dedicated to raising awareness about Tardive Dyskinesia (TD)—a serious and often misunderstood movement disorder that can result from certain medications used to treat mental health conditions.

This week serves as an opportunity to educate our communities, support those living with TD, and encourage conversations about treatment, symptom recognition, and overall wellness. Increased awareness helps create more informed and compassionate care for those affected.

If you or someone you love may be experiencing symptoms, don’t hesitate to talk to a healthcare provider. You are not alone.

This holiday season, we are filled with gratitude for your generosity and partnership. Because of you, NAMI Oregon reached 15,000 individuals in 2025, helping families navigate mental health challenges, access vital resources, and connect with a supportive peer-led community that understands them.

Your support has strengthened families, built connections, and created spaces where people feel seen, heard, and understood. From peer-led support groups to the Resource Helpline and our welcoming Resource Café, your generosity has touched lives across Oregon.

As we look to 2026, we’re excited to continue expanding access to mental health resources, deepening our impact, and ensuring that every individual and family, whether in Portland or rural Oregon, can find peer guidance and support when they need it most.

Thank you for being an essential part of this journey. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, connection, and hope.
