Question:
Hello!
I run a young adult peer support group and am looking to find out whether there are existing national, regional, or local groups my group can be involved with. I am based in Lexington, MA, about 10 mi north of Boston. Can you point me in the direction of other young adult peer support groups or national groups? This is for mental health.
Thank you!
Erin

Answer:
Dear Erin,
The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) has information and linkages with peer support groups. I suggest you check out this web page, which includes a link to State organizations and NAMI Affiliates.

There is also the National Mental Health Consumer's Self-Help Clearinghouse at:
http://www.mhselfhelp.org/
I hope these two resources are helpful.
