Welcome
To the National Alliance of Mental Health Providers (NAMHP)
NAMHP emerged from a shared sense of frustration and heartbreak felt by mental health professionals (LMSWs, LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCs) across the nation—disillusioned by the systemic neglect of mental health professionals by legislators, insurance payors, venture capital (VC) and corporate entities. What began as a collective yearning for changing our mental health care system in our Facebook group has grown into a vibrant and supportive movement, powered by the voices of thousands of mental health providers who refuse to stay silent. We believe in empowering mental health professionals to rise against exploitation, reclaim their voices, and demand the respect and resources this profession—and the people we serve—deserve.
As the team behind NAMHP’s original Facebook group, we have witnessed the courage, wisdom, and unwavering hope of our members. We heard and read so many discussions about workplace inequities that hit home for so many of us. We shared victories in our advocacy efforts, and we have seen our community prove time and again that real change is possible when we stand united. NAMHP is now the official organization that turns this unity into action! Our goal is to educate mental health providers to push back against harmful practices and lead the charge for legislative reforms that protect our field and redefine its future. Together, we are building a movement that not only uplifts mental health professionals but also transforms the care our world so desperately needs.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a unified, empowered mental health community that leads the transformation of the healthcare system, promoting fair and equitable treatment for all mental health providers. Through advocacy, innovation, and education, we aim to establish mental healthcare as a cornerstone of the broader medical industry, ensuring providers receive the support, tools, and recognition they deserve, while fostering collaboration across the globe to achieve meaningful reform.
We Advocate Collectively for Legislative Action
Our members are forming a unified front to push for systemic reforms. This includes mobilizing to advocate for better reimbursement rates, transparent policies, and equitable laws that protect both ourselves as providers and our clients.
We Are Building a Network of Solid Support
Our organization and Facebook group have become a lifeline for many; a safe space to share struggles and propose solutions. Our members continuously share their efforts to strengthen our MH professional community and create mentorship opportunities for early-career clinicians.
We Run Educational Campaigns for MH Professionals
We facilitate workshops, continuing education courses, and share resources to empower all of us as providers to stand up against exploitative practices, negotiate contracts effectively, and advocate for fair treatment.
We Strive to Enforce Accountability in Corporate Practices
Our members discuss strategies and initiatives to hold large organizations accountable, including public awareness campaigns and collective action to advocate for ethical standards of care in the mental health industry.
We Prioritize Self-Care and Burnout Prevention
As an organization, we prioritize our members’ self-care. Our team of volunteers facilitate peer-led wellness initiatives to support mental health providers in managing their own stress and emotional fatigue.
Honoring Diversity & Inclusion
