Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness): The national parent organization and 501(c)(3) umbrella for state affiliates including NAMI NH. Directly comparable in mission, programs, and brand, but operates at a national scale with significantly more resources and a federated chapter model.
• 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: The federally backed national crisis line that NAMI NH actively refers to and advocates for funding. A comparable crisis intervention channel, but federally scaled rather than community-led.
• Mental Health America: A national community-based mental health nonprofit focused on advocacy, public education, and screening. Comparable mission around mental health awareness, but with national scope and a different programmatic emphasis on screening and policy.

Regional players

• Northeast Kingdom Mental Health (NKH): A New England community mental health services nonprofit with comparable peer-support, education, and advocacy functions, but operating in a different geography (Vermont's Northeast Kingdom).

Emerging players

• JED Foundation: A national nonprofit protecting emotional health of teens and young adults, with programs on college campuses — overlapping with NAMI NH's NAMI On Campus NH and youth advocacy work.
• Bring Change to Mind: A mental health anti-stigma nonprofit using storytelling and youth programs — directly comparable to NAMI NH's In Our Own Voice, SurvivorVoices, and This Is My Brave storytelling initiatives.
• The Trevor Project: A national nonprofit providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention for LGBTQ+ youth — a specific segment NAMI NH also serves in NH. Comparable mission scope but specialized in a single demographic and heavily digital.

Direct peers

• American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP): A leading suicide prevention nonprofit that operates affiliate chapters in New Hampshire and other states. Direct overlap with NAMI NH's Connect Program, Survivors of Suicide Loss, and SurvivorVoices initiatives.
• NAMI Massachusetts: A neighboring NAMI state affiliate offering the same trademarked programs (Family-to-Family, NAMI Basics, Peer-to-Peer, etc.) and advocacy model. Operates in a larger and more urbanized market, providing a useful scale benchmark.
• NAMI Vermont: Another NAMI state affiliate with similar size and rural-state operating context to NAMI NH. Offers directly comparable support, education, and advocacy programming for individuals and families affected by mental illness.
