NAMI Connection Support Groups

NAMI Connection are free 90-minute weekly support groups run by persons who live with mental illness for other persons with any diagnosis who also live with mental illness. The NAMI Connection program is a national, phased initiative to implement mutual support groups in communities across the country. The NAMI C.A.R.E. (Consumers Advocating Recovery through Empowerment) model, operational in limited communities, forms the basis for NAMI Connection, but with some changes. Under the revised model, groups will meet weekly for 90 minutes and there will likely be many groups in an area instead of one or two. The Principles of Support, the foundation for the program, as well as some of the tools and materials, have been improved to more accurately reflect the values of NAMI Connection.
