NAMI is committed to supporting kids and those who take care of them, at home and at school. We hope these resources help you this back-to-school season.

Here at NAMI Central Oregon, we believe in engaging with our community. All of us need a sense of belonging; being part of a community enables us to share personal relatedness and support the perpetual growth of each other, ourselves, and our environment.

On the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month, we meet up with each other & walk at Pioneer Park, 1525 Northwest Wall Street, Bend.

Check Facebook, Instagram, and our Events Calendar for updates. Don’t use social media? No problem. Reach out to info@namicentraloregon.org to be added to our walking mailing list.

NAMI Central Oregon’s support groups are currently meeting online. Our online support groups are open to all Oregon residents. [Learn more …]

We will let you know when in-person support groups start meeting again.
