I’ve been in all of them at some point during my life so I know which ones are the most helpful. I can’t control where I end up IP but I can choose my IOP.
It is a shame that nami groups are still online. I think there’s only a couple that that are in person here. Most are online.

I was curious if there was any around here so I googled it. There’s substance abuse and kids iop about an hour away but curiously a php and iop that wasn’t in the twin cities( 2 hours north) was a city that’s even further away. I was surprised there wasn’t iop or php listed in Rochester since there was a write up in the papers a few years ago and they built a new huge MH facility. But it seems they don’t have iop or php. Just crisis units. There’s a few small ip units in towns near here but mostly people get driven hours away from here. I’m surprised that hasn’t changed! For all the articles and news about the lack of care nothing has changed. In Austin TX there was usually a couple choices. Mental health just doesn’t seem to get addressed outside of big cities.
