We strive to create a world where mental and behavioral health services are readily accessible for everyone - truly creating a place to belong. NFI North was created at a time when people struggling with mental illness or behavioral problems were institutionalized. As a result of this widespread practice, people's lives and futures were adversely affected. Today, stigma and discrimination still exist—but as millions of us raise our voices, harmful misconceptions are beginning to fall. We provide services that empower and inspire people to reach their full potential. NFI North provides an array of services across ME and NH. The agency is an accredited, well-recognized, high-quality, nonprofit organization whose focus is on helping people help themselves. We accomplish this by providing specialized education, counseling, supported employment, foster care, residential services, as well as many other forms of care.
