Bridging Realities: A support group

Do you have a loved one living with schizophrenia or symptoms of schizophrenia?
Maybe your loved one has been clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia or you suspect it’s schizophrenia but they don’t have a formal diagnosis. What you know is that they operate in a different reality on occasion, cyclically or all the time.

And, do you identify as a Person of Color / Person of the Global Majority?

This space is for you.

We meet on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month from 12pm-1pm PST.

Space is limited.
Please register for each date you intend to join.

Treatment is challenging, support is unclear, stigma is high, and it is hard to see any motivation from them to depart from their reality.

At times you see glimpses of who you once knew them to be, and other times they seem like a stranger with how they act—the scribbling in the notebook, the preoccupied mumbling, the interrogation of technology, among other symptoms that can range from emptiness to aggression.

Over time, the range of realities becomes familiar and it is hard to hold on to hope for wellness or for a meaningful relationship with them. As a family member the experience can be so isolating that you can’t imagine anyone else could ever understand.

But you’re not alone. You’re not the only one with a family member troubled by schizophrenia diagnosed or undiagnosed, medicated or unmedicated, lost from or rejected by your family’s community.
