NAMI WI Being Together
We recognize that attending a support group in person is not always an option. We also know you might need support between local groups. NAMI Wisconsin offers state-wide virtual support groups through Being Together.
Being Together – NAMI Wisconsin, provides a directory of online support groups and classes for individuals across the state who do not have a local NAMI Affiliate or do not have certain support groups or classes provided by their local affiliate. This is a way to bring those in need of support together, regardless of their location. These support groups and classes are open to anyone within Wisconsin.
