Family-to-Family
Support Group Meetings

2nd and 4th Tuesdays of every month
7:00-8:30pm at the NAMI of DuPage office in Wheaton

Twice a month on the second and fourth Tuesday, NAMI of DuPage offers a support group for people who have a family member or friend suffering with a mental illness.

Since our relationship with our loved ones suffering with mental illness is an ongoing journey and often difficult, it is helpful to know that after our twelve weeks of Family-to-Family education we can continue to receive support for ourselves.

The NAMI Support Group meets from 7:00 to 8:30pm in the NAMI office.  If due to work, etc., you are unable to arrive by 7:00pm, you are welcome to join us any time during the time slot.

This is also an opportunity to help others experiencing some of the difficulties with their family member that you have been through, and to share some of the insights or community resources which have been helpful to you.

The NAMI library will be open for you to check out helpful resources.
