Support Groups – San Antonio
spacerspacerspacerNAMI – San Antonio has support group meetings that are facilitated and based on the principals of support. We provide individuals with an opportunity to share fears, insecurities, successes, approaches to problems, and to reinforce good and appropriate coping skills. Problems may not be solved at a single meeting, but members know that they are not alone and can return for continuing support.
