To help deal with the PTSD and get out a bit more, I am considering going to the local weekly NAMI meetings. Has anyone else attended NAMI meetings and did it help you? Thanks

Go for it. I would like to join one too, but none in my area. Good Luck

Thanks. I noticed you are in PA too. There are several local chapters- here's the link to the PA chapter with it's local chapters.

I attend NAMI meetings weekly and find them very helpful. I encourage you to go. hugs

Go for it! You can always check it out once and if it is not for you, you don't have to go back. When you are ready, give it a try. Let your heart lead you the rest of the way from there...

Worthwhile checking it out... their website mentions actual useful seminars that can teach one how to cope better & try to realize more potential... I wish they had NAMI org/meetings, up here in Canada... we have organizations that supposedly offer support, but I find the groups are often lacking in structure & in focus on trying to better manage one's mental health. Good luck!
