Circles are now Parenting Groups at NAMI!
Where: NAMI Rochester, 346 N. Goodman Street
As of May 1, 2022, our Circles Program has transitioned to in-person Parent Groups under NAMI Rochester, where parents and caregivers can experience wellness support and connection from prenatal/postpartum through every stage of parenting children as they grow. These groups allow parents and caregivers to share their joys and challenges with each other in a safe and welcoming environment, and people can make connections, learn together, and receive the support they need to give the best of themselves to their children.Check NAMI Roc’s Parenting Groups page for the most up-to-date schedule!
