NAMI New Hampshire – Statewide Support & Education
Statewide
Peer Support
NH's affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Provides free education programs (Family-to-Family, Peer-to-Peer), connection support groups, crisis information, and a statewide information and referral line. NAMI NH serves individuals living with mental illness and their families across all NH regions.
The NH Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services funds certified peer recovery support specialists (CPRSS) embedded in CMHCs, hospitals, Doorway NH sites, and recovery community organizations across the state. Peers provide 1:1 support, systems navigation, and lived-experience insight. Connect through your local CMHC, Doorway NH, or crisis team.
NAMI New Hampshire operates a free peer support warmline staffed by trained individuals with personal lived experience of mental illness. The warmline offers non-crisis emotional support, connection, and referrals for people experiencing emotional distress, loneliness, or mental health challenges who are not in immediate crisis. Callers are never alone — the line provides compassionate listening and knowledge of NH resources. Distinct from a crisis hotline: for non-emergency peer connection.
Statewide network of recovery community organizations in NH providing peer recovery support coaches, recovery community centers, NARCAN distribution, warm handoffs from ERs, and community recovery events. Connects people in recovery with peers who have lived experience.
