The NAMI support group is for relatives and friends of persons with serious mental illnesses (brain disorders).  Families having difficulty finding help for their loved ones who are ill or who are facing strained family relationships can find help in such a group setting where mutual self-help is available from others who do understand and who have experienced similar difficulties.

 

The meeting, sponsored by the NAMI affiliate in the south suburbs not only provides an opportunity to meet others in similar circumstances but is a way to learn new information and, perhaps most of all to gain hope of successful outcomes.  Sharing concerns and hearing how others deal with problems and successes can show that all is not bleak.

 

Volunteer facilitators lead the group, which meets on the second Thursday of each month throughout the year at the same time and location.  There is no charge to attend.  For further information about the group and/or NAMI, please call John Rowley at 708.798.3862.

In the near future, we hope to be adding a support group for parents of children and adolescents with emotional and mental health problems.  If you are interested in attending this support group when it is formed, please contact John Rowley (see below).  You will be notified when plans are finalized.
