Rhode Island NAMI

Mental Health · Rhode Island · Free

National Alliance on Mental Illness Rhode Island affiliate. Education, support, advocacy. Built for older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, isolation, or thoughts of suicide. Telehealth therapy is widely available and Medicare-covered; many seniors prefer the privacy and avoid transportation barriers. Depression in seniors often shows up as physical complaints, appetite changes, sleep problems, or memory issues — not sadness. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
