What is NAMI Connections?
NAMI Connections is a recovery support group program for adults living with mental illness that is expanding in communities throughout the country. These groups provide a place that offers respect, understanding, encouragement, and hope.
NAMI Connection groups offer a casual and relaxed approach to sharing the challenges and successes of coping with mental illness. Each group:
* Meets weekly for 90 minutes
* Is offered free of charge
* Follows a flexible structure without an educational format
* Does not recommend or endorse any medications or other medical therapies
All groups are confidential - participants can share as much or as little personal information as they wish.
Meetings will be guided by NAMI Connection’s Principles of Support.
NAMI Connection is supported by AstraZeneca.
Who can attend a NAMI Connection Recovery Support Group?
Support groups are open to all adults with mental illness, regardless of diagnosis. Participants should feel welcome to drop by and share feelings, difficulties, or successes.
Everyone is a valued participant.
