Our free support groups are led by NAMI-trained facilitators who have lived experience. The groups follow a structured model so everyone has an opportunity to share, learn, and feel support from other attendees.

NAMI Jax Connection Recovery Support Groups are available online and in person throughout Northeast Florida on a regular recurring basis.

If you're curious about a support group, you are welcome to attend with no commitment. Student or non-participant observation is not permitted.
