Peer Support

New Hampshire's protection and advocacy agency. Free legal advocacy for the rights of people with disabilities, including mental illness — access to care, discrimination, and rights in treatment settings.

NH's only Center for Independent Living, providing statewide peer support, advocacy, benefits counseling, in-home and community supports, transition services, and day services for people with disabilities and seniors experiencing disability.

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.

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.

Eligibility: Anyone in NH experiencing emotional distress; free
