NAMI Central Virginia is getting a new website! The new site has a sleek, modern design with the most important groups and resources right on the front page. It will also contain a table of local resources that will continue to grow over time. The design closely mirrors the NAMI National site for ease of use.

The new web address is www.namicva.org, and will go fully live next week on Wednesday, September 30th. Please be sure to update any bookmarks on your computer, tablet, or other mobile devices. The old web address (namicentralvirginia.org) will be redirected in the next few days, and will still function until November 25th, but will become inactive after that date. ... See MoreSee Less
