EVENTS

Do you love someone who is struggling with mental illness? We offer a safe place to vent and learn about resources — as well as a place to share what you've learned.

Mental illness is a tough road to travel alone. A NAMI Family Support Group is confidential, non-judgmental and facilitated by people who've been there and have learned the value of support.
