NAMI Maryland Affiliate Bulletin Boards and Upcoming Events

If You Need Help.... A List of Our Local Affiliates and Support Groups

The affiliates of NAMI Maryland promote the goals of support, education, and advocacy in their own communities. Our affiliates offer a variety of activities that include the following:

• Support groups for family members of persons with mental illness. Families share their experiences and information about community services and facilities. Some affiliates have special support groups for children of persons with mental illness, siblings, and the parents of children and adolescents.
• Telephone networks. NAMI members are willing to offer advice in crises and assistance in resolving frustrations and difficulties with the mental health system, the schools, or the criminal justice system.
• Educational meetings. Usually monthly meetings with guest speakers such as psychiatrists, psychologists, socal workers, researchers, legislators and others.
• Newletters. Newletters from affiliates contain announcements, book reviews, discussions about pending legislation, reports of meetings and reprints from journal and newspaper articles.
