Welcome to the Montana chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)
County Mental Health Resource Guides
Montana is a big place. NAMI Montana offers mental illness resources guides to help you get in touch with the offices and services you need. We have contact information for emergency response, healthcare providers, and other helpful agencies in all 56 counties, from Beverhead to Yellowstone, in addition to general state and national offices and helplines. These guides are based off the format of the resource guide developed by NAMI Flathead’s consumers.
