In crisis? CALL 988

988 is the new three-digit dialing code connecting people to the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline where compassionate, accessible care and support is available for anyone experiencing mental health-related distress — whether that is thoughts of suicide, mental health or substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress. People can also dial 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.

For ongoing support, attend one of our online support groups.

AB 43

NAMI California co-sponsored SB 43 (Eggman), legislation that modernizes the meaning of gravely disabled within the Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act to better meet the needs of individuals experiencing severe mental illness, providing families with the ability to secure needed treatment for their loved ones experiencing severe mental illness

Proposition 1

(Here are just a couple of reasons NAMI California supports Proposition 1)

Significantly increases treatment beds, providing funding for 11,000 behavioral health beds and 27,000 outpatient beds to meet the needs of those experiencing severe mental illness.

Cements critical resources within the legislative framework to ensure the original MHSA intent remains intact, including funding prioritized for outreach and engagement and stigma reduction and prevention
