Support Groups

NAMI Lorain County sponsors several types of support groups designed both for caregivers and those living with mental illness.  Such groups, led by trained facilitators, provide confidential opportunities to share personal stories, relate to others with similar experiences, learn about community resources, and offer hope and encouragement.
