Support

At NAMI Washington County, we offer various support groups with more being added when the need arises and qualified facilitators join our affiliate. NAMI support groups are peer-led and offer participants an opportunity to share their experiences and gain support from other attendees. NAMI Washington County also has partnered with the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon, MHAAO, to offer PeerZone, a series of peer-led workshops for people who experience mental distress and addiction. The workshops provide a fun, interactive, and safe structure for participants to share their experiences, learn self-management and expand their horizons.

Support Group Calendar

*Please note that group admission closes after 15 minutes or at the close of individual check-in to maintain group cohesion.
