About
NAMI Orange County (NAMI OC)
NAMI Orange County (NAMI OC) is a dedicated affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness serving Orange County, California. The organization focuses on improving the lives of community members affected by mental illness through no-cost support groups, educational classes, a peer-run WarmLine, and youth mentoring programs. Their mission is to create a future where all individuals affected by mental illness can experience hope, recovery, and wellness in a world free of stigma. NAMI OC provides a range of programs tailored to family members, peers, teens, young adults, schools, and workplaces, and actively fosters community through advocacy, outreach, events, and volunteer opportunities.
While not explicitly framed as Asian-focused, NAMI OC serves the diverse Orange County community, which includes a significant Asian and immigrant population. The organization offers culturally responsive support groups, a WarmLine in multiple languages, and outreach to schools and community groups. Their programs are designed to be inclusive and accessible to all, including non-English speakers, and they actively partner with local community organizations to meet the needs of a multicultural population.
