New schedule for NAMI Family Support Group. On the second Thursday of the month, we will be holding the support group -IN PERSON- in Abington, MA. The 4th Thursday will remain via Zoom. Contact NAMISouthShore@gmail.com for safety requirements and more information. 

We welcome family members, partners and  friends to share common problems which arise from their loved ones' mental health conditions. We provide a secure non-judgmental environment where caregivers can discuss concerns and benefit from the collective knowledge and experience from one another.
