Connection Recovery Support Group Facilitator Training
March 5, 2016 - March 6, 2016
NAMI Connection Recovery Support Groups are peer-based mutual support groups that meet weekly for 90 minutes of safe, confidential personal sharing in a flexible group setting. Groups are open to any adult living with a mental illness or a psychiatric condition and willing in share with others confidentially in an atmosphere of respect, encouragement, and hope. Prospective facilitators must have a documented mental health diagnosis and be at least 18 years of age and be(come) a NAMI member. They need to have reached a comfortable place in their own recovery so they can sustain themselves during the emotional turbulence that can arise in Connection support groups.
