The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill in Minnesota (NAMI-MN) sponsors free support groups for families who have a relative with a mental illness. The support groups are led by trained facilitators.
If you have a family member with mental illness, you are welcome to attend the support group nearest you: in Cambridge, the group meets on the fourth Monday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Cambridge Medical Center; in Chisago City, the group meets the second Monday of the month at 7 p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church.
Using support group principles and guidelines, people who attend support groups develop better coping skills, reject the stigma of mental illness and find strength in sharing experiences.
Confidentiality is strictly observed. For more information about a support group in your community, contact NAMI MN at (651) 645-2948 or 1-888-473-0237.
