What is NAMI?

We are an affiliate chapter of NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. We want to help individuals and families develop the skills that will enable them to cope with the demands of living with a mental illness. We provide free support groups and educational programs for those living with a mental illness and their family members.

NAMI Connection Group

This group is for people living with mental illnesses. Offer a structured group process led by trained facilitators designed to encourage, support, and empower. You will gain insight from hearing the challenges and successes of others, and the groups are led by trained leaders who have been there.

NAMI Family Support Group

Is a peer-led support group for any adult with a loved one who has a mental illness. Gain insight from the challenges and successes of others facing similar experiences.

Both groups are:

  • Free of cost to participants
  • Designed for adults (18+) with mental health conditions
  • Connection group is led by trained facilitators who have mental illnesses
  • Family Support group is led by trained facilitators that are also family members of those with mental illnesses
  • 90 minutes long and meets 7:00PM-8:30PM (Thursdays- Brunswick; Tuesdays- St. Marys)
  • No specific medical therapy or treatment is endorsed
  • Confidential
  • On the last Thursday of the month our support groups come together to hear a speaker, who shares information about a current mental health topic. These meetings are free and open to the public.
