A confidential support group for families who have loved ones who are living with mental health issues. The group is lead by facilitators who have experience living with a loved one with mental health issues.

As a loved one of a person with mental health issues, you face unique challenges: complex family dynamics, social isolation and often unpredictable aspects of the illness.  It can be overwhelming.

Through the NAMI Family Support Groups, you can find hope and support by connecting with others who face similar challenges.

As rising fuel costs are placing a hardship on many families, the Board of Directors agreed to hold our Family Support Group Meetings via Zoom through the end of June 2022.  We were having difficulties with the two separate meeting links for the family support group so one new link was created for every Thursday.  Please note that our meetings are only scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month (i.e., June 9th & 23rd).  Everyone will need to register in advance to participate.
