The NAMI Family Support Group is a peer-led support group for any adult family member, partner, or friend of someone who has experienced symptoms of a mental health condition. Attendees create connections with fellow community members and gain insight from the challenges and successes of others facing similar experiences.
By sharing your experiences in a safe setting, you can gain hope and develop supportive relationships. This group allows your voice to be heard and provides an opportunity for your personal needs to be met. It encourages empathy, productive discussion, and a sense of community. You will benefit from other’s experiences, discover your inner strength, and empower yourself by sharing your own experiences in a non-judgmental space.
NAMI Family Support Group will help you
- Aim for better coping skills
- Find strength in sharing experiences
- Forgive ourselves and reject guilt
- Embrace humor as healthy
- Accept that we cannot solve every problem
- And understand that mental health conditions are no one’s fault and can be traumatic experiences.
safeTalk is for Everyone
Make a connection. Help save a life.
safeTALK is a half-day training in suicide alertness. It helps participants recognize a person with thoughts of suicide and connect them with resources who can help them in choosing to live. Participants do not need any formal preparation to attend the training—anyone age 15 or older who wants to make a difference can learn the safeTALK steps.
