NEW Family Support Group online for Spouses, Partners & Friends

February 11, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

All NAMI Buffalo & Erie County in-person meetings canceled due to COVID until further notice.

This is a facilitated, confidential support group for spouse and partner caregivers concerned about and/or caring for a person with mental illness.

Pre-register for a Zoom online Family Support Group by emailing online@namibuffalony.org with
1) the date of the Family Support Group you wish to attend,
2) your name and
3) a phone number for us to call and arrange for you to register.

For Niagara Falls metro area: Do you need a computer or a ride to be able to go to a group? Loaner computers (on site) with tech help are available at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. Free transportation is also available for the Niagara Falls metro area.  Hospital staff will help you if aren’t sure how to use computers. Reserve tech space or a ride for this date by 3 pm the day before the group. Participants must wear a mask and use social distancing. Contact Taylor at 716-343-3061 to reserve tech access space and/or arrange transportation, if needed.

You may also attend our other support groups for family members if the time of this one does not work for your schedule.

There is no fee for this service, we encourage participants to join NAMI Buffalo & Erie County or make a donation, if able. No one is denied membership due to financial hardship. Membership includes local, state, and national NAMI.

This group is not appropriate for a person who has a diagnosis unless they are a caregiver of a loved one who has mental illness. Referrals to other services available. For any questions, call the office at 716-226-6264.

Please stay safe and well.
