Support Groups Are for Everyone
Want to talk with someone who really gets it? Consider joining a support group meeting! All of our support groups are completely free, confidential, and led by trained volunteers who have lived experience as individuals affected by mental health conditions. NAMI Vermont has Connection Support Groups for those living with a mental illness, and Family Support Groups for those with a loved one who has a mental health condition. No registration is required; join at any time. Find a support group near you. Click on the buttons below. Don’t wait—get the support you need today!
Become A Family Voices Presenter
Want to share your mental health story as a family member? Join us on June 11, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM via Zoom, for an online training session. Participants will have a chance to share their personal stories as family members of an individual living with a mental health condition, aiming to raise awareness and combat the stigma surrounding mental health. Please prepare your story in advance, and be ready to share it on the day of the training. Guidelines will be provided. A Zoom link will be provided as we get closer to the training.
