NAMI Metro Suburban is seeking facilitators for Family Support Groups (for family members of individuals living with a mental health condition) and NAMI Connection Groups (for individuals living with mental health conditions). Locations vary, typically throughout Oak Park and La Grange/Western Springs areas. Meeting dates and times also vary.
NAMI Support groups are facilitated by peers, meaning Family Support Group facilitators must have experience with a loved one living with mental illness and Connection facilitators must have a lived experience of their own.
