NAMI SUPPORT GROUPS FOR CAREGIVERS

There are a number of free structured and unstructured NAMI support groups for caregivers around the state that can provide understanding, comfort, hope and help for family members and friends and other caregivers.

It is always a good idea to call the contact person before attending the first meeting because meeting the date, time, and location may change.
