Peer Support

NAMI Racine County peer support groups provide a safe space where individuals can offer support and show understanding and empathy through shared experiences. As such, these groups are closed to family members or others who may like to attend as a means of providing support to a loved one.

All peer support groups are led by trained facilitators with lived experience and follow a structured format to ensure everyone in the group has an opportunity to be heard and to get what they need. 

Unless otherwise stated, all support groups (except for those west of the interstate) are held at NAMI Racine County's office located at 2300 DeKoven Avenue in Racine, Wisconsin. Building doors are locked to the public. With this in mind, we encourage you to arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start time of your group so that the facilitator can let you into the building and your session can start on time.

​Support groups are confidential and registration is not required.
