NAMI Massachusetts is a mid-sized nonprofit organization in the mental health care sector, based in Woburn, Massachusetts. Founded in 1982, it seeks to improve the quality of life for people living with mental health conditions, as well as for their families and caregivers, by ensuring access to the support they need. It emphasizes the perspectives of people with lived experience to challenge discrimination and advocate for a more equitable society. As part of the National Alliance on Mental Illness network, the group coordinates advocacy and community-based efforts across Massachusetts. In late 2022, the organization appointed Dr. Myisha R. Rodrigues as executive director. It has pursued practical initiatives such as developing training for emergency department staff to improve responses to mental health and substance use crises and has formed partnerships to raise public awareness about mental illness.
