Based on what we know, derived from 30 years of research and work in the field, NAMI understands what a successful mental health system must include. NAMI believes deeply that a transformed mental health system has the following very specific characteristics. It is:
- Comprehensive
- Integrated
- Adequately funded
- Focused on wellness and recovery
- Safe and respectful
- Accessible
- Culturally competent
- Consumer-centered and consumer-and family driven
- Well-staffed and trained
- Transparent and accountable
