NAMI Connection facilitators are trained leaders who facilitate 90-minute Recovery Support Group meetings. Facilitators play an important role in ensuring that all participants feel welcomed and supported. NAMI facilitators are uniquely qualified to lead support groups because they have gone through their own recovery process. They empathize with, and encourage those who may be just beginning the journey. These leaders play a significant role in maintaining the group by providing acceptance and support for peers with follow up. They also help peers understand themselves and learn coping skills towards recovery through sharing their living experiences. They accompany peers, walk with the group members, and grow together in a safe and unbiased environment.
Who Should be Trained: Individuals who have personal experience with mental health challenges and have reached a comfortable place in recovery. Participants should attend at least one Connection Support Group meeting and agree to adhere to the NAMI Connection Support Group model.If you are passionate as a companion walking towards recovery with peers, you are welcome to participate!
