NAMI Schenectady is affiliated with NAMI NYS (naminys.org) and NAMI National( nami.org). According to the local organization’s website, “We are family members and friends of someone with a brain disorder (also called mental illness) Originally, more than 30 years ago, a group of parents in Schenectady founded a support group to help one another cope with the effects of a family member's devastating mental illness. The Schenectady Relatives Group became incorporated as AMI-Schenectady in January 1988. We have been meeting ever since as AMI and (since our name change in 1998) as NAMI-Schenectady.” Senator Farley is pictured here with Patty Costa.
