About NAMI New Orleans
NAMI New Orleans is the Mid-City campus of NAMI Southeast Louisiana providing community-based behavioral health services, peer support and mental health education for adults living with mental illness.
The organization offers outpatient support for co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns along with case management, illness management skills training and counseling connections.
Their mission centers on empowering individuals and families through advocacy, education and peer-driven care that meets people where they are.
Community-Based Mental Health and Co-Occurring Support
NAMI New Orleans focuses on supporting adults with mental health conditions, including those navigating co-occurring substance use challenges.
As part of a regional nonprofit network, the Mid-City campus connects clients to behavioral health resources, outpatient services and community-based case management.
Services emphasize skill-building, resource linkage and ongoing support rather than short-term clinical treatment alone.
Clients can access illness management training, counseling referrals and case management for qualified Louisiana Medicaid recipients, helping them build stability and long-term wellness.
Peer Programs and Mental Health Education
A defining strength of NAMI New Orleans is its peer-led programming, including NAMI Connection, Family Support Group, Family-to-Family, Peer-to-Peer, Basics and Homefront for veterans.
The organization also offers Mental Health First Aid training, which covers both mental health and substance use awareness, expanding its reach into schools, workplaces, and community groups.
