Nami New Hampshire

Nami New Hampshire, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Concord, New Hampshire, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on youth and family mental health services, suicide prevention education, and peer support programming for individuals and families affected by serious emotional disturbance and substance use disorders. The organization has received four prime federal grants from the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) totaling $734,948 in the most recent award (September 2026), and holds grant sub-awards under the County of Cheshire Administration supporting family peer support delivery across New Hampshire.

Nami New Hampshire's recent federal footprint centers entirely on SAMHSA grant programs. The most significant active award is a five-year $734,948 grant (Project Grant, CFDA 93.532) commencing September 2026 to implement a statewide youth suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention initiative with embedded family peer support. The program deploys Nami New Hampshire's evidence-based CONNECT curriculum suite to frontline professionals across juvenile justice, the Department of Children, Youth and Families, community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, and school districts statewide, with localized focus on Strafford County; direct services include safety planning, evidence-based risk re-screening, family peer navigation, and school re-entry for youth up to age 24. Two prior SAMHSA grants — a $734,948 grant through 2025 (ultimate completion September 2025) expanding support for individuals and families affected by co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, and a grant expiring September 2024 (now closed) expanding access to CONNECT suicide prevention education statewide to 5,030 participants via 5,000 elearning seats and virtual trainings — demonstrate recurrent SAMHSA investment in Nami New Hampshire's peer-delivered and training-focused mental health interventions. A fourth prime grant, awarded September 2022 under SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, provides ongoing support for the New Hampshire Family Network serving approximately 800 families annually, of which 44 percent have children ages 6–12 and 49 percent care for teenagers aged 13–19; Nami New Hampshire is identified as the sole organization in New Hampshire providing billable family peer support services. Nami New Hampshire also serves as a sub-recipient on three grant sub-awards under the County of Cheshire Administration (September 2023, September 2024, and September 2025), providing Lead Family Contact positions and family peer support training to engage families and caregivers of children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance in systems-of-care development and governance.

The vendor's broader federal customer base includes the Indian Health Service and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, each with four awards, and the National Institutes of Health Office of the Director with three awards, though most awards in the source data carry minimal potential values. The organization's federal footprint is concentrated in family and individual services (NAICS Other Individual and Family Services, four awards) and education and training delivery (four awards under Support—Professional: Other and Education/Training—Other PSC categories), reflecting its mission-driven grant focus on peer support training, family engagement, and suicide prevention education rather than government contracting. No federal contract vehicles or contract-based IDIQs appear in the source data; federal engagement is exclusively grant-based, with 89 percent of recent awards issued as prime grants and 11 percent as grant sub-awards.
