Family Support Group (FSG) Mentorship and FSG Videos
NAMI Support Group Mentorship Process - go to the Family Support Group Extranet on the National Website and download this 9 page doc regarding the mentorship process. This process is a way for facilitators to run a support group with only one trained facilitator and one person who is being mentored for it. Later, that mentored person will be trained at a NAMI training.
Below is information on videos regarding the support group program.

FSG
Intro Videos
We are excited to announce that,
for the first time, we created several NAMI Family Support Group outreach
videos to help you and your NAMI Affiliates promote this NAMI signature support
group on your websites and social media accounts. We first showed these videos
at the NAMI Convention and they are now available for you to use through NAMI’s
YouTube page (NAMI
video).
Connecting with NAMI’s virtual
community is increasingly important. These videos serve as valuable tools to
share with families and illustrate what to expect from a NAMI Family Support
Group. You have the option to share the videos on your social media pages or
embed them on your NAMI State Organization or NAMI Affiliate websites simply by
pushing the “Share” button below the video of choice and clicking on a social
media icon, or the “Embed” or “Email” option.
These videos will also be
helpful in communicating the mission and the impact of the program to current
or potential supporters and funders.
Thank you for all you do and
please let me how you decide to use these outreach videos!
Best,
