Give Back - Make an Impact - Change Lives
· Do you have an adult family member or loved one with a mental health condition?
· Are you interested in learning skills to help support others?
If so, you may be the perfect person to be a Facilitator for a NAMI Family Support Group.
NAMI Family Support Groups are monthly, or twice a month, 90-minute free peer led, mutual support groups for adult family members, loved ones or caregivers of adults living with mental illness.
Family Support Groups are led by two trained facilitators who have loved ones with a mental health condition and are at a point where they want to "give back to others" by offering encouragement and support through their own experiences. In these groups, family members can talk frankly about their challenges and help one another through their learned wisdom.
Successful facilitators are good listeners with an empathetic ear.
Training is required and provided at no cost.
