Concerned Persons Support Groups
Due to the complexities of understanding and supporting a friend or family member with a mental health condition, and in light of recent events which have increased the awareness of mental health issues, Behavioral Health Services is adding a second group to the Concerned Persons Group series.  In addition to the Concerned Persons Group - Substance Abuse, a new group is being formed entitled Concerned Persons - Mental Health, and is offered to help decrease stigma and increase knowledge about mental health for our community.  Since there is sometimes an  overlap between substance abuse and mental  health conditions, both groups will be held at the same time in the same suite but in different rooms for coordination of care and support.  Participants may go from one to the other for various sessions depending on their needs.
