Peer Support Recovery Specialist

NAMI NH envisions a future where people affected by mental illness and suicide have hope, help, and health, and are able to:

• Access the supports and evidence-based treatment necessary for recovery;
• Have a lifespan that is not cut short by suicide or co-occurring conditions; and
• Reach their full potential, living in their communities free from discrimination.

NAMI NH is a medium-sized organization committed to improving the lives of all Granite Staters affected by mental illness and suicide through support, education, and advocacy. NAMI NH has over forty years of service to individuals and their loved ones affected by mental illness and suicide, offering statewide activities which provide education, training, and support to individuals, families, and communities. The organization promotes advocacy and provides empowerment at the individual and family level as well as at the systems level by offering training and opportunities to build confidence in advocacy and leadership skills. NAMI NH has 60+ staff, 200+ volunteers, and a budget approaching $6M. NAMI NH's staff and volunteers are flexible, hard-working, and passionate individuals who go the extra mile to ensure the mission is achieved.
