Every month the National Alliance on Mental Illness, (NAMI) of Southwest Ohio, hosts several different types of support groups at various locations around the Greater Cincinnati area. Information on the locations and times of these groups is available on their online event calendar.

The different types of groups available are as follows: 1) Connection Support Groups, which are peer-led support groups for any adult who has experienced symptoms of a mental health condition; 2) LENS Groups, (which is an acronym for Learning, Education, Networking and Support), these groups are open to both individuals living with mental illness and family members; and 3) Family-to-Family Support groups, for family, caregivers, and friends of individuals living with mental illness.

The online calendar additionally includes classes and events hosted by NAMI of Southwest Ohio. Many of the offerings also include virtual options, if one needs to attend a support group or class online.
