Support groups for adult child with depression, anxiety and ADD?

Posted by nvallewhite @nvallewhite, Sep 23, 2016

Is there support groups for people who care for people with mental health issues?
Or groups my daughter who's 21 can join to help her maintain her illness on a day to day bases?
Please let me know.
I'm in the Riverside area and Moreno Valley.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Mental Health Support Group.

Hi @nvallewhite, welcome to Connect! I found that the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has a great feature on their website for finding local support groups and treatment centers. Here is the one I saw listed in Riverside: https://www.nami.org/Local-NAMI/Details?state=CA&local=0d83bcd0-6545-480d-afa4-a85527f2a105

Connect is also a great resource where she can find support online; I'd recommend that she check out the Mental Health and Just Want to Talk groups. Have you talked to her about joining Connect?
