NAMI St. Louis is looking for volunteers to facilitate Connection Support Groups (CSG). NAMI Connection Support Group’s are free groups for any adult who has experienced symptoms of a mental health condition. Participants share their experiences in a safe setting, which allows them to gain hope and develop supportive relationships. NAMI Support Groups are peer-led, meaning that they are led by people with similar experiences. Connection Support Group facilitators are people who are living with a mental health condition and would like to help support others who are experiencing something similar. Groups are led by 2 people and will meet once each month for 90 minutes per group. Our 2024 training dates for CSG are February 24-25 and August 3-4, from 8:00am-5:00pm and will be taught online.
