You are not alone.
Support groups provide a forum for mutual acceptance, understanding and self-discovery. Peer Support Groups provide free information, education, empowerment, and support to adults diagnosed with a mental illness as well as their family members and loved ones. While Peer Support Groups should not be considered as a substitute for treatment, they can often be a complement to treatment.

For more information, contact us at MIKID (formerly Mental Health America of Arizona) at 480-994-4407 Ext. 10 for Andy Arnowitz.
