This women’s mental health support group provides a safe, empowering space where women can openly share their experiences, build resilience, and support one another in their mental health journeys. Through connection and community, members are encouraged to grow stronger together.

Our women’s mental health support group connects adult females who live with mental illness in a structured discussion format. The program is limited to female adults living with a mental health diagnosis in order to promote self-disclosure in a safe, relaxed, supportive and confidential environment. These support groups are led by NAMI trained facilitators who are “Living in recovery” themselves.

Why Firearm Safety Matters 🔐
Fi****ms are the leading method of su***de in Ohio. But safe storage can save lives.

Whether you’re a firearm owner, a parent, or a caregiver—taking just a few moments to secure your fi****ms could prevent a future tragedy. Su***de often happens in moments of crisis, and when a firearm is easily accessible, the risk increases exponentially.

👉 Store fi****ms unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition.
👉 Use a firearm safe, lockbox, or cable lock—even simple steps can make a difference.
👉 Talk to your family about safety. Normalize mental health check-ins and open conversations.

If someone you know is struggling, confidential help is always available. Call or text 988, available 24/7.

Posted • .therapist Grief isn’t just death. ❤️‍🩹
It’s the quiet ache of a friendship ending.
The anxiety of starting over.
The heavy what-ifs that linger after change.
⠀
If you’ve been feeling off but can’t quite name it… it might be grief.
Grief for what changed, what didn’t work out, what you didn’t get to say.
⠀
Whether it’s a job, a move, your health, or a shift in your beliefs—your pain is valid. You’re not being dramatic. You’re being human.
⠀
🌱 Therapy, nervous system work, and community support can help.
⠀
👉 Save this if you’re grieving something people don’t talk about enough.

There’s men in mental health too. Just because you are a man doesn’t mean you have to “man up”. At NAMI Mahoning Valley, we know that everybody can struggle with their mental health. That’s why we created this support group specifically for men. Speaking out and asking for help is brave and helps you connect with others with similar experiences.

Our men’s mental health support group connects adult males who live with mental illness in a structured discussion format. The program is limited to male adults living with a mental health diagnosis in order to promote self-disclosure in a safe, relaxed, supportive and confidential environment. These support groups are led by NAMI trained facilitators who are “Living in recovery” themselves.
