Sharing similar experiences can break through feelings of isolation

Mental Health Support Groups on the Eastside.

SUPPORT OUR WORK

A community of support

Mental Health Support Groups for people impacted by mental illness.

 

People living with mental illness as well as their loved ones often feel extremely isolated.
We are working to create a consistent community of support that brings people out of isolation and gives them hope for the future. Our Mental Health Support Groups offer insights, emotional support as well as successful strategies for coping with everyday challenges. All our Mental Health Support Groups are led by nationally-certified facilitators with lived experience of mental illness. All support groups are free, do not require insurance, and are held on a drop-in basis with no required length of participation.
We currently offer 14 regularly scheduled support groups facilitated by volunteers with lived experience. Click on the group to learn more and register, or download the flyers including schedules and descriptions for our available support groups at the links below.

OUR SUPPORT GROUPS ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE & IN-PERSON

“Peer Support Groups remind me that mental illness is just that – an illness – and with support from others and appropriate medical treatment, we can treat the disease while maintaining respect for the individual. There is strength in our numbers. I feel connected.”

ANDREA JAGLA, Peer Support Group Facilitator

Monday Virtual Family Support Group at 7 p.m.

NAMI Family Support Group: Virtual weekly meetings via Zoom.

This is a peer-lead support group for any adult with a loved one who has experienced symptoms of a mental health condition. Gain insight from the challenges and successes of others facing similar experiences. Privacy Protocols We encourage all participants to keep this meeting private. You are responsible to ensure you have reliable internet and a quiet private space (such as a room where you can close the door) for the meeting. If in a public place, keep the screen turned so others cannot view it. Use headphones to mute the sound. We will open the meeting at 6:45pm so people can come in early to get settled in the Zoom meeting space and to ask any tech questions before we begin the meeting.
