NAMI Connection
A Recovery
Support Group for people with serious mental Illness
NAMI Connection is a free, 90-minute support group run by persons who live
with mental illness for other persons who live with mental illness. The
group is led by NAMI-trained peer facilitators who understand the daily
challenges of living with a mental illness and can offer encouragement and
support. The program employs principles of support designed to
empower its members and focuses on allowing all participants to
share their experiences and learn from each other in a safe and
confidential environment. .
NAMI Connection meets weekly:
When: Every Friday from 1:30pm to
3pm
Where: Destiny Hall, 124 Lincoln Ave in Woodland.
Destiny Hall is two blocks east of West St and is the 2nd house down
from McKinley Ave., across the street from a shopping center where you
can park your car. It's a grey house that sits back from the
street behind a chain link fence.
Sponsored by NAMI-Yolo, the support group
is free of charge. Any adult with a mental illness is welcome to attend the
group anytime they feel they need someone to talk to -- there is no need
to register.
Too often, mental illness can be an isolating experience accompanied by
profound anxiety. For those diagnosed with a mental illness, talking with
someone to share coping strategies and insights, as well as problems and
concerns, can be an important link in the path to recovery.
