The NAMI Mutual Support Group -
Ottawa (Orleans), Ont.
Support For Those In Immediate Need
Quite often
families find themselves in crisis as a result of dealing with
mental illness in their midst and the immediate help that can be
offered by a support group is what is needed and appropriate.
NAMI has established a mutual support group in Ottawa for just this
purpose. The
support group
meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month
from
7:00 p.m.
to 9:00 pm
at
the Orleans United Church,
1111 Orleans
Blvd.

support group contact Madeleine Bertrand by email at
