About NAMI KDK

In 1990, a small group of parents from Geneva and St. Charles came together looking for support and information after their children were diagnosed with a mental health condition. This small group formed the nucleus of NAMI KDK and eventually became incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in 1993.
 
NAMI KDK has become a strong affiliate whose mission is to provide mental health education, support, and advocacy for individuals, family members, and communities in Kane-south, DeKalb, and Kendall counties. Our programs are free to the public and facilitated by individuals living with mental health conditions, their family members, or their significant others. 

Our Team.

Meet the team behind NAMI-KDK! We're dedicated to creating a supportive, stigma-free community. Our culture thrives on empathy, openness, and collaboration—each team member brings unique experiences and a genuine commitment to mental health advocacy.
