The Family Support Groups through NAMI RI take place on three Tuesdays per month, currently using Zoom.
The groups are led by trained facilitators who have experience as family members with mental illness themselves. The group meetings last about one hour, and everyone who participates in the meeting gets a chance to share. The other members of the group try to offer help and resources, when appropriate, based on their own experiences. A little background info on the group can be found here: NAMI Family Support Group | NAMI (namirhodeisland.org)
No pre-registration for the groups is necessary. The schedule with the links for the meetings is below. In order to join/get the Zoom links and meeting info, anyone interested can email me.
