Support Group Training Webinars

To Family Support Group (FSG) Trainers and Facilitators:
Thank you to everyone who participated in the December 2015 webinar! The conversation focused on important considerations for creating a welcoming support group, and also around engaging Spanish speakers in our Spanish-language NAMI support groups. We spoke briefly about the Latino Networking Group Report during the webinar, and the report summary sheet was not accessible via the webinar so I am attaching it here.
