Programs

  • Mental Illness Advocacy Program

    National Alliance on Mental Illness of Contra Costa County (NAMI CC) had secured funding from Contra Costa County Behavioral Health Services to implement a county wide program to advocate for the mentally ill and those caring for them. We then renewed the contract for the FY 2018-2019 and has since become a major program to recruit volunteer to help build more support for Contra Costa County. NAMI CC also hired a full-time Executive Director to help focus the companies fundraising and streamline and emphasize all programs. NAMI CC had also underwent a stringent re-affiliated process with NAMI National which has been accepted.

    National Alliance on Mental Illness of Contra Costa County (NAMI CC) received 3 years of funding through a grant from John Muir Health that will allow us to enhance our Signature Programs and hire a Coordinator and Peers that can better reach our diverse community. They also gave funds to address structural racism and we used those dollars to hire a Consultant to assist us to diversify our board.
