NAMI Support Resources

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) has organized Coping with Violence Support Groups to support people affected by violence-related trauma. All sessions are free and confidential. Please register at least 90 minutes before the session starts.

Violence-related trauma can impact anyone and affect mental well-being. While mental illness is a contributing factor in only 4% of violent crimes , the emotional effects of violence are widespread. It is OK not to be OK.
