But now, medical science in the digital age continues to move forward in search of broader knowledge and better treatments to manage bipolar’s mania and depression, with people taking an active role as partners in maintaining their stability.

Our next group meets Wednesday, April 1st at 6 PM. We hope to see you there. Details below.

There’s men in mental health too. Just because you are a man doesn’t mean you have to “man up”. At NAMI Mahoning Valley, we know that everybody can struggle with their mental health. That’s why we created this support group specifically for men. Speaking out and asking for help is brave and helps you connect with others with similar experiences.

Our men’s mental health support group connects adult males who live with mental illness in a structured discussion format. The program is limited to male adults living with a mental health diagnosis in order to promote self-disclosure in a safe, relaxed, supportive and confidential environment. These support groups are led by NAMI trained facilitators who are “Living in recovery” themselves.

Join our FREE Men’s Mental Health Support Group:
- The 1st Wednesday of every month
- 6:00pm
- Poland Library - 311 S Main St, Poland, OH

It was such a beautiful morning for our Wellness Walk as we immersed ourselves in nature at the trails in Boardman Park. We feel much more grounded and revived… Definitely looking forward to the next one!

Thanks to .cambium for being our guide again! Be sure to give her a like and follow.

We hold our wellness walks every two or three months, so keep an eye out for our next location and date to be determined. As always, suggestions are always welcome!
