The Austin Family-to-Family Mental Illness Support Group

We decided to start this group after taking a NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) family-to-family education class. Each member of this group has a relative with schiozophrenia, bipolar disorder, clincial depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder or borderline personality disorder. Our purpose is to support and educate each other. Anyone in the Austin or surrounding communities who has a family member affected by mental illness is welcome!
