If you’re living with a serious mental health condition and looking for connection, support, and people who truly understand—you don’t have to look far. NAMI Connection Recovery Support Groups are a free, peer-led support option designed specifically for adults (18+) who are navigating life with serious mental illness.
What Makes These Groups Stand Out?
- Led by people with lived experience: Each group is facilitated by trained peers who’ve been there—no judgment, just real understanding.
- Support that feels safe and empowering: Meetings follow a simple structure to make sure everyone has space to share and connect.
- Always free, always accessible: Whether you prefer in-person or virtual, these no-cost groups meet regularly across the country.
Why It Matters
Joining a NAMI Connection group can help you:
- Feel less alone in your journey
- Learn new ways to manage daily challenges
- Share openly with people who truly get it
- Find strength through shared experience and community
These groups are about connection, not diagnosis—about hope, not pressure. As one participant shared, “People can solve problems at a NAMI Connection group.”
