Our mission
Changing what a family can do for someone with serious mental illness.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Does any of this
sound familiar?
"I don't know what he's owed, and nobody will tell me."
"Every form needs his signature, and he won't sign."
"We pay for everything. Where will she live, if we can't pay anymore?"
"The hospital sent him home. Everyone said call someone. No one said who."
The Problem
The system waits for the crisis.
- It's built for the person with the diagnosis, in the hospital, in the room. Everything before and after falls on the family.
- 8.4 million people are doing that work with no employer benefit, no insurance line, no caseworker.
- They're working 32 unpaid hours a week and paying $8,384 a year out of pocket for a system that wasn't built for them.
Nobody tells the family what to do tomorrow, or how to plan for the years after.
Inaya exists to change that.
Our Approach
A firm, not a clinic.
We answer to your family, not to a system. We don't sell to your employer and we don't answer to your insurance company.
We listen to your journey, find every resource your loved one is owed, and show you what to do next. Then we walk you through it.
We don't file, we don't treat, and we're not a crisis line. We find what your family can do, and show you how.
Our Journey
Founded by someone who's been there.
I started Inaya because my own family spent years lost in the gaps of the mental health system. When my brother was first hospitalized, we were handed disconnected phone numbers and told there was nothing we could do. We called 911 at night because we didn't know where else to turn. We felt completely alone.
What finally changed things wasn't a hotline. It was finding other families who had been there, people who could tell us what to ask, what rights we had, and what to expect. That experience is what Inaya is built on.
I'm a NAMI Family Support Group Facilitator, a Crisis Specialist, and I've spent over a decade supporting families navigating serious mental illness, including my own. I know this system from the inside, and I know what families actually need to move through it.
Inaya exists so no family has to figure this out alone. Not anymore.
