NAMI Minnesota (National alliance, Mental Illness) sponsors free support groups for families and friends of individuals living with a mental illness. Led by trained facilitators who also have a family member with mental illness, the support groups help families develop better coping skills and find strength through sharing their experiences. A family support group meets in Roseville, the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 6:30 p.m. at Centennial United Methodist Church, 1524 W. County Road C-2 (at Snelling Avenue).
