Offered by Grow a Family, our Replanting Lives support group is for those who want healthier relationships with family members, professionals and those with SMIs. While this group is designed for caregivers, please note that both parents and working professionals are welcome too.

Our group is facilitated by Mara Briere, a Certified Family Life Educator who also has caregiver experience.

The 12-week Fall Session begins September 9th at 4 PM Pacific/ 7 PM Eastern. Register here.

"I found the Replanting Lives support group through the NSSC website while looking for ways to cope with the challenges of having an adult child with schizophrenia. We met weekly for 12 weeks, and the experience was truly transformative.

The small group setting was invaluable; it allowed us to process the education Mara Briere provided while sharing our own victories, grief, and resources. Mara has a wealth of experience and a remarkable ability to facilitate and address the specific needs of every family.

Beyond the weekly sessions, the books and resources Mara recommended have been vital to my healing. I’ve gained the awareness and acceptance I needed to forgive myself and grow. I cannot speak highly enough of this program."
