What is Neami and what does Neami stand for?
Neami is a community managed Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Support Service that was first formed in 1987 in Melbourne’s northern suburbs by consumers, carer’s, health service providers and community members. Originally Neami was named North Eastern Alliance for the Mentally Ill. In 1998 Consumers and the Committee of Management sought to remove the emphasis of “mentally ill” and chose to use the acronym of Neami with the mission of “improving mental health and wellbeing in local communities”.
