Summary:NAMI Family Support Groups are free, confidential, and safe groups open to adult friends and family members of individuals living with mental illness or a mental health condition. The group offers insight on the challenges and successes of others facing similar experiences. This is not for the individual themselves, but for family and friends who support them. Groups offer a caring, supportive space for friends and families to connect and share as much or as little information as they wish.
Dates, Times & Location:
Family Support Groups are held on the first Thursday of every month from 6:30-8pm. The meetings are held in the Gillette Room in Banbury Place, 800 Wisconsin St, Building #2D, Eau Claire, WI 54703.
Facilitators:
NAMI Family Support Groups are led by two trained facilitators with lived experience. They play an important role in ensuring that all participants feel welcomed and supported. Facilitators are volunteers who become certified by completing a 2-day training. The training is designed for facilitators to learn and practice specific skills that will guarantee a meaningful support group experience for all participants. Facilitators are uniquely qualified to lead support groups because they have experience in having a loved one living with a mental illness. A NAMI Family Support Group facilitator ensures that the group shares responsibility for maintaining guidelines, sustains clear participant boundaries, clarifies goals, and reinforces communication skills that encourage group participation.
