NAMI Jacksonville's Young Adult Advisory Council - YAAC - is forming now! Led by young adults aged 18-26 who are interested in providing perspectives about NAMI Jacksonville youth and young adult programs and initiatives. YAAC members serve as advocates for NAMI Jacksonville, provide expertise/advice in specific areas such as mental health advocacy and activism, social media, outreach and engagement, as well as education specific to youth and young adults. Members also spearhead a youth serving project from planning to completion within their term. Members will also spread awareness and fundraising for youth projects and serve as an honorary spokesperson for NAMI Jacksonville in their specific role on the YAAC.

Here At NAMI we are working diligently to lay out the groundwork for youth mental health education. part of that groundwork includes a new youth centered support group.
NAMI Youth Support Group is a new free, peer-led support group led by NAMI-trained facilitators who have personal experience of living with mental illness. Youth support is designed for young adults living with mental illness who will gain insight from hearing from others like you. NAMI’s support groups meet bi-weekly, weekly or monthly and are unique because they follow a structured model to ensure you and others have an opportunity to be heard and to get what you need.
We are a support group that focuses on allowing participants to share their experiences and learn from each other in a safe environment. We don’t take attendance. We maintain confifdentiality.
Youth Support Group is free and open to any individual in high school living with mental illness who is seeking support, compassion, and tips for recovery. Any non-participant observation is not permitted.
By sharing your experiences in a safe and confidential environment, you will gain hope and develop relationships. The group encourages empathy, productive discussion and a sense of community. NAMI Youth Support Group will help you:
