The NAMI Connection recovery support group, for adults living with mental illness, provides a place that offers respect, understanding, encouragement, and hope.
The support groups are run by people living with mental illness themselves. Each group meets weekly for 90 minutes, is confidential, free of charge, and is open to anyone with a mental illness, regardless of diagnosis.
For more information on NAMI Connection please click here.
There are some NAMI Connection testimonials on our YouTube channel if you would like to hear why a NAMI Connection group is different from other support groups.
If you would like to discuss the NAMI Connection program please contact Karen Reedy at kreedy@namimass.org.
