NAMI Family Support Groups

Care & Share family support groups provide support, education, advocacy and information to family members and friends of those suffering with severe mental illness.  Each person has an opportunity, if they wish, to share their current situation with the group.  Since everyone attending has or is going through similar issues, everyone can offer understanding and comfort.  Often group members are able to offer helpful ideas, suggestions and resources.

Each group is coordinated by a volunteer from NAMI Ventura County who has been trained as a support group facilitator.

Family Support Groups meet regularly as shown below.  Select "Calendar" from the menu above to check the date of the next meeting.  For more information, call the NAMI Ventura County Helpline at (805) 500-NAMI.
