Yes. I've met wonderful friends in my NAMI DBSA weekly support group. It's Free!
We meet and each person has 6 min talk and feedback time. One girls daughter was getting married in New York and she was planning a big trip. A guy had tickets to the Rolling Stones concert. Some people share about their parents and visiting old folks home.
It's not just whining and complaining. It's active fun and interesting! I go every week when I'm in CA. And keep in touch by eml while I'm here in Costa Rica. Pura Vida
