Do you have a friend or family member living with mental illness? – You are not alone.

The Northern Interior is running virtual Family Support Groups for family members and close friends who are supporting a loved one with a severe and persistent mental illness. 

It offers a safe and supportive environment for family and friends to share, ask questions, and connect with others who are also supporting a loved one with mental illness or substance use disorder. Trained facilitators or educators lead Family Support Groups, and they provide support and resources to family members and caregivers of individuals with severe and persistent mental illnesses.

This group includes SMART Recovery tools for people affected by the addictive behaviour of a loved one.
