Free NAMI NEK Family Support Group

Past event
Sep 23, 2020, 5:30 to 7 PM

Wed., Sept. 23.  For families and close friends of individuals living with mental illness:  Fourth Wednesdays, 5:30 - 7 PM by online video conferencing / telephone option.

Due to the pandemic, people may have a higher risk for mental health conditions arising if they are under more stress, feeling more isolated, or having trouble getting the mental health care they need, especially if they didn't already have a provider or if they lost their job with their insurance. As the holidays approach and it is colder so we can't be outside as much, things may get worse. Find support from people who know what it is like to not know yet whether it is a mental health condition causing new and challenging behaviors with their loved ones, or who have experienced a mental health crisis in their family.

Due to the holidays, we meet third Wednesdays in November and December.

We have been videoconferencing since March, and it is really working quite well. People are looking forward to not having to drive through the snow at night, and some people have quite a distance to drive when we meet in person.

For call-in information call NAMI Vermont 1-800-639-6480; for the link or call-in information, send an email to nickmartin@namivt.org.
