  • If you or a loved one are struggling with mental illness, you are not alone. Do not lose hope. Recovery is possible and help is available.
  • The local NAMI NH support group for families maintains this web page to provide current information about mental health resources available in the Upper Connecticut River Valley (NH towns: Claremont, Cornish, Plainfield, Lebanon, Hanover, Newport, New London, Grantham, Lyme, Orford; VT towns: Springfield, Hartland, Hartford, White River Junction, Wilder, Norwich, Thetford, Fairlee, Bradford). We do not have all the answers you seek and cannot guarantee a successful outcome for your loved one, but we can share what we’ve learned about the agencies, organizations, and programs that offer help and support in what can be a long and lonely journey. You may find helpful Dr. Lloyd Sederer's Ted Talk, "When Mental Illness Enters the Family" click here.
