I am trying to get together a support group for the mentally ill. You hear of all kinds of support groups for loved ones who care for the mentally ill, but I have a mental disorder, and I would love to get a group going. I live an hour away from the cities. Is there a social worker that would be available to volunteer their time, twice a month. I am going out on a whim here. People think that if you are mentally ill, you are not capable of doing much. That is not true, and it is even harder for us to carry the burden of knowing we are mentally ill. Does anyone have advice on how I would go about starting a group, and how to bring people aware? Thanks...
