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.

There are specific support groups available such as borderline personality disorder, men's support group, etc.  Information about these groups and how to get in touch with the facilitators is available on namimass.org.
