Resources
National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI), North Carolina is an excellent resource, perhaps even the best, for providing referrals and advocacy to folks with any mental illness including SPMI. They have worked diligently to compile a list of useful links, including resources around medical care, housing, advocacy, and even government offices.
