Families in our community have been telling us how hard it is to navigate a loved one’s mental health challenges, and we hear you. We’re committed to showing up for you in stronger, more consistent ways.
We’re excited to share that our Family Gatherings Support Group is restarting soon—creating a space where families can connect, learn from one another, and feel less alone.
And this spring, we’ll also be offering our 8‑week NAMI Family‑to‑Family Course, a nationally recognized program that gives families the tools, understanding, and confidence to support their loved ones while caring for themselves.
More details coming soon. You’re not alone, and we’re here to walk this path with you.

Champlain Valley Family Center (CVFC) is a private, non-profit community-based organization. We are dedicated to providing behavioral health treatment, prevention, education and related support program.

We are looking to gauge interest from family members who may benefit from joining a supportive space designed just for them. Caring for a loved one who is impacted by mental illness can be deeply meaningful, but it can also be emotionally and physically challenging.
Our goal is to create a group that helps family members take care of themselves, build connections with others who understand their journey, and feel supported while continuing to love and care for their loved one.
If you think you may be interested, please reach out using the number listed, or feel free to send our profile a private message (PM). Your response will help us determine the need and shape the group in a way that best supports our community’s families.
We look forward to hearing from you and walking alongside you.

We are deeply saddened to learn that one of our longtime NAMI family members has crossed over to the other side. Barbara Perry was an integral part of this chapter for many years. She taught countless individuals on their recovery journeys the WRAP skills that transformed lives, openly sharing her own experiences and insights from living with bipolar disorder.
In the early 2000s, Barbara—alongside our now‑director—also created a teen group that served our community for many years: Club Teen Scene. Through this program, she helped young people struggling with their mental health by engaging them in creative, meaningful activities that encouraged healing and hope.
What Barbara brought to our recovery community was truly a gift, and her impact will be felt for years to come.

As we reflect on MLK Day, we are reminded that progress begins with courage. Recovery is a powerful gift — it is possible, even when the full path ahead isn’t clear. What matters most is choosing to take that next step, trusting that each small move forward brings transformation within reach.
