NAMI Santa Clara County offers support groups for people affected by mental illness, led by trained peers with lived experience.  We also provide information on related support groups offered by other community organizations. NAMI Support groups are peer-led and aim to empower participants by sharing their experiences and gain support from other support group members. You will find the list of all support groups on pages 2 & 3 of our Current Resource Guide
