Our Commitment
Support, Education, and Advocacy for Every Family
NAMI Montana is the Montana chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots organization for people with mental illnesses and their families. Founded in 1979, NAMI has affiliates in every state and in more than 1,100 local communities across the country.
NAMI Montana was founded in 1987. We support, educate, and advocate for Montanans with severe mental illnesses and their families. NAMI Montana has affiliates in Billings, Bozeman, Bitterroot, Great Falls, Havre, Helena, Flathead, Missoula, and Southwest Montana.
We offer support and education groups across Montana. NAMI Montana has also played an advocacy role in nearly every important statewide mental health policy effort since the late 1990s.
We are a tax-exempt charity and you can find a copy of our most recent Form 990 Tax Statement here.
NAMI Montana is carried by our volunteers, but we also have two staff members, Matt Kuntz and Colleen Rahn.
