Feelings of Loneliness

As a regular attendee of NAMI Connection groups, I have noticed a common feeling of loneliness among attendees.  Our symptoms can be difficult for our family members to understand.  We live in a society where many are uneducated regarding mental illness and little money is spent on mental health services. This is why I attend these meetings.  No matter how lonely I feel when I arrive, I leave feeling better.  I realize, I'm not alone.  This is a priceless gift and it's free! Thank you to all who attend these meetings with me. 

New Tulsa Family Suppprt Group

The new family support group that meets the third Monday of every month at 7 pm is off to a great start! The group is meeting in the home of Jim and Ellen Harris and welcomes all those who have a loved one living with mental illness. We spend just a few minutes getting to know each other and then have discussion and sharing on current problems the group wants to focus on. This meeting is structured but casual and is NOT a group therapy, but a problem solving and encouragement opportunity. Call 918-527-3536 for directions or questions.

Hope can be found in Wagoner!

I'm really excited about the NAMI Connections group being held in Wagoner on Tuesday evenings at 6 pm.  NAMI Connections is a support group for those who struggle with mental illness.  These meetings help me talk about my challenges in a safe place where I won't be judged.  These meetings are confidential.  Please feel free to join us at the Church of Christ every Tuesday night in Wagoner.  Toni Sarch 918-418-2534
