NAMI Connection is for adults (18+) with mental health conditions. NAMI Connection Facilitators are uniquely qualified to lead support groups because they are going through their own recovery process. By utilizing NAMI-trained support group methods, they empathize with and encourage those who are just beginning the journey to a renewed life. A NAMI Connection Facilitator ensures that the group shares responsibility for maintaining guidelines, sustains clear participant boundaries, clarifies goals, and reinforces communication skills that encourage group participation.

Who can facilitate a group?

• Any adult (18+) who identifies with a mental health condition may apply to become a NAMI Family Support Group facilitator.
• They are at a point in their own recovery that they are able to “give back” to others.
• All potential leaders are screened to determine whether the opportunity is a good fit for the individual and for the organization.
• Prospective leaders attend an intensive 2-day training to become certified.
• All facilitators must be members of NAMI and commit to a minimum of one year of service.

While attending a NAMI Connections Support Group in the past is not a requirement, it is encouraged.

June is Men's Mental Health Month.

Mental health challenges affect millions of men each year, yet many struggle in silence due to stigma and societal expectations. Seeking support is not a weakness, it's a courageous step toward healing and well-being.

NAMI Oklahoma encourages men to check in with themselves, reach out to loved ones, and seek help when needed. Every conversation about mental health helps break down barriers and build stronger communities.

You don't have to face it alone.

Pride Month is a time to celebrate authenticity, belonging, and community. NAMI Oklahoma stands with LGBTQ+ individuals and families, recognizing that everyone deserves support, acceptance, and access to mental health care.

Together, we can help create communities where everyone feels safe, accepted, and empowered to be themselves. https://www.nami.org/community-and-culture/lgbtq/

You are seen. You are valued. You belong.
