NAMI DuPage has a Workforce Development program where we help people who have mental illness gain job skills in order to get a job in the "real world." We have a working Cafe and Print Shop in our building where we train clients on these job skills. We are always looking for volunteers to be mentors to the clients and help with the running of the Cafe and Print Shop.

About NAMI DuPage
Location:

Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide support, advocacy and education in order to improve the quality of life of individuals with mental illness and their families.
Description
Who We Are:
NAMI DuPage is a grass roots organization, funded primarily by individual donations and supported by volunteers with first-hand experience as caregivers and as individuals with mental illnesses.
As an affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, a nationwide mental health advocacy organization dedicated to improving the quality of lives of people affected by mental illnesses. One of the largest and most innovative of 1,200 in the country and 41 in Illinois, our affiliate provides services and programs that offer relief, resources and importantly - hope for recovery - to individuals and families alike.
History:
NAMI DuPage was founded by a group of parents in 1985 who were looking for services for their children who had been diagnosed with mental illnesses. By joining forces, they thought they could advocate for improved services. NAMI DuPage has grown from this small handful of people to an organization of over 1,000 members. NAMI has been a catalyst for change and reform in DuPage County.
