National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) Illinois Online Support Groups
Description
The Support You Need Without Leaving Your Home!
NAMI Illinois works with local affiliates to host free Zoom virtual support groups, classes and events open to anyone in Illinois. Sessions are led by trained volunteers who've been there themselves, in an easy, safe, and confidential format. Join by computer or phone.
To register for any of the support groups below, please visit namiillinois.org/calendar and click on the support group you wish to attend from the calendar.
Participants must register NO LATER THAN 4:30pm the day of each session in order to receive the Zoom meeting link by 5 p.m. the day of the meeting. Most sessions are held from 7-8:30 p.m. Visit our calendar at namiillinois.org/calendar to find all support groups and registration information. You can also find in-person and virtual support groups offered by NAMI in Illinois affiliates HERE.
DUE TO CONFIDENTIALITY, WE DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE OTHER THAN THOSE LIVING WITH A MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION TO ATTEND SUPPORT GROUPS. THIS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, FAMILY, FRIENDS, STUDENTS WHO WISH TO OBSERVE, RESEARCHERS, AND MORE.
