What we’re about
We are a NAMI Eastside Connections Peer Support Group made of individuals living with a mental health condition who meet virtually on Zoom weekly to listen, share and support each other.
Professionals active in the behavioral health field are only permitted in our meetings with a mental health diagnosis. We are not medical professionals but we are expects in our own experiences. We ask that members only offer advice when specifically requested by a member during group discussion.
Who is welcome at our group?
Anyone who is living with a mental health condition or has been experiencing a mental health symptom for longer than 2 weeks.
What should members do at a meeting?
- Start and stop on time.
- Time limit for check-in.
- Absolute confidentiality.
- Be mindful of others; no monopolizing or cross talk.
- Keep it in the here and now.
- Empathize with each other’s situation.
