NAMI Sheridan does not provide individual counseling, therapy, or psychiatric care. However, we offer several types of free mental health support.
Our peer support groups are led by trained individuals with lived experience, while our therapeutic support groups are facilitated by local licensed clinicians and focus on specific mental health needs and topics.
We also offer educational programs throughout the year, including our spring and fall/winter education and workshop series, community presentations, and workplace talks.
For people who need professional mental health care, NAMI Sheridan maintains a Community Resource Guide with information about local clinicians, treatment providers, and other services.
NAMI Sheridan maintains a Mental Health Emergency Fund in partnership with local providers to help address urgent mental health needs when financial barriers might otherwise prevent someone from receiving stabilization care.
​
The fund is not a replacement for emergency or crisis services and is accessed through participating local partners.
