We are setting up online support groups for NAMI Family Support and NAMI Connection. Please email us at info@namicharlestonarea.org or call or text us at 843-284-3091 if you are interested in attending. We will need your name, email, and phone number to send you the meeting codes for the meetings and the instructions for accessing Google Meet or Hangouts Meet. We hope you are all safe and well.
We are doing our part to help “flatten the curve” for the spread of the Corona Virus. All in-person support groups are cancelled at this time. We will update this page when they resume. If you would like to talk with someone, please text NAMI to 741741. Please check our resource page and resource guide for information on places you can call or text, if you want to talk with someone about any concerns related to your mental health. You can also visit the NAMI Discussion Groups: https://www.nami.org/find-support/discussion-groups.
NAMI Charleston Area offers peer-led support groups for adult family members and friends to share experiences and resources related to providing care and support for a loved one with a mental health condition. We also offer peer-led support groups for adults living with mental health conditions to gain a sense of community, hope and insight from hearing the challenges and successes of others. All meetings are confidential.
