SUMMARY:DMIW Peer Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly Peer Support meeting at DMIW-MHRC. \nThis meeting is a relaxed\, informal meeting of parents and adult family members who have a child or loved one living with mental illness. We have learned from experience that whether you choose to share your story\, or just listen to others\, it is comforting to know you are not alone. We understand the fear\, the guilt\, the hopelessness\, the heartache\, the burden\, the toll on the family unit\, and the loneliness. You are not alone! You are not required to share your story\, but rest assured that if you choose to\, your story stays within the walls of DMIW. The only requirement to attend is strict confidentiality. \n*These meetings will be facilitated each week by a volunteer from Northeast Georgia Counseling (Buford). Visit: http://www.northeastgeorgiacounselingga.com \nKristina Miller\, CPS-P \nCertified Peer Specialist – Parent \n
