Connection

NAMI Connection is a recovery support group program for adults living with mental illness that is expanding in communities throughout the country. These groups provide a place that offers respect, understanding, encouragement, and hope.

NAMI Connection groups offer a casual and relaxed approach to sharing the challenges and successes of coping with mental illness. Each group:

• Meets twice a month on Thursdays via Zoom for 75 minutes

• Is offered free of charge

• Follows a flexible structure without an educational format

• Does not recommend or endorse any medications or other medical therapies

All groups are confidential – participants can share as much or as little personal information as they wish.

Meetings will be guided by NAMI Connection’s Principles of Support.

Who can attend a NAMI Connection Recovery Support Group?

Support groups are open to all adults with mental illness, regardless of diagnosis.  Participants should feel welcome to drop by and share feelings, difficulties, or successes.

Everyone is a valued participant.

Who can I contact for more information?

We are currently in need of a volunteer facilitator in order to restart this group in Livingston County for 2025. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a NAMI Connection group facilitator please contact Pam at pstadtmiller23@icloud.com or call (734) 645-2899. We hope to restart this group very soon! In the meantime, anyone can join the NAMI Connection groups offered by the Lansing or Washtenaw NAMI affiliates.
