Regular Monthly Meetings

Provides education and support to its members and guests.  Speakers' presentations address topics of general interest to individuals with mental illness, their loved ones and mental health professionals; this is followed by Support Groups: one for the individuals living with mental illness, and the other for those who love them.  (No meeting in December).

Family Support Groups

The NAMI Family support Group offers an innovative set of structures and processes designed to support caregivers dealing with the mental illness of a loved one.  NAMI Family Support Groups are the entry point for many families coming to NAMI and provide non-judgmental, sympathetic concern in an atmosphere of confidence and shared experience.
