NAMI Portage and Wood Counties Support Groups
Monthly Support Groups
Are you living with a mental illness and suffering in silence?
Do you have a family member, loved one or friend who lives with a mental illness?
NAMI Portage and Wood Counties offers free monthly Support Groups to help you cope and connect with others who will understand and be a listening ear.
Our support groups are open to the public and lead by trained facilitators who also deal with mental illness or have a loved one who suffers from a brain disease. We welcome new visitors at any time!! You may attend any group regardless of where you live. Choose whatever works for you. Please don’t hesitate to call with any questions.
