One of NAMI’s overall guiding principles is nothing about us, without us, which is why we created NAMI Next Gen, a 10-member young adult advisory group. The group represents the voices of youth and young adults across the country and will be advising, creating and innovating how NAMI works with youth and young adults. Throughout the year, their thoughts, opinions, and feedback will help inform the work of NAMI programs, content, initiatives and new projects to meet young people where they are.
