Whether you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or just need someone to talk to, we have programs just for teens ages 14-18.  

NAMI-NYC’s teen programs are always free, confidential, often virtual–and led by near peers (someone close in age with lived experience). Teens talk to their friends first for advice and support, so we’ve equipped trained near peers to answer your calls on the Helpline and facilitate our new support group.

Chat with Our Teen Helpline: Teens ages 14–18 can reach out to our Helpline to talk with peers close to their age who truly understand. Ask your mental health questions and share what’s on your mind—our Helpline is here to listen.  

Join Connection Corner (Teen Support Group): Our virtual, weekly teen support group is facilitated by peers close in age, offering a space to connect and find community. Sessions are free and no registration is required.
