We are seeking individuals with lived experience with mental health issues to facilitate our support groups. Training is required; NAMI Lehigh Valley covers all cost of the training. Training will be provided by NAMI Keystone PA in late winter or early spring.
Each support group is led by two co-facilitators. As we expand our programming we may identify new locations for training in Lehigh or Northampton counties. The groups provide an opportunity for peers to support and learn from each other as they work on their recovery from mental illness.
More opportunities with NAMI PENNSYLVANIA LEHIGH VALLEY CHAPTER
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
