Description
NAMI Family Peer Support Groups follow a peer-based, mutual support group
model that provides an opportunity for loved ones of persons living with mental illness to share and learn from their common experience. Groups are a safe space to confront the challenges that all loved ones of persons living with mental illness face, regardless of diagnosis. Facilitators offer support, information, and practical knowledge to loved ones of someone living with mental illness. Facilitators are not counselors or teachers; rather, they are present primarily to give the group structure by opening and closing each support group session, guiding discussion, and shifting discussion when necessary.
