FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES

The Caring Chain is a support group for the family members and friends of mentally ill individuals.  The meetings provide a unique opportunity for individuals to come together to share common concerns and frustrations, exchange information and gain a greater understanding of mental illness.  Also available is a lending library that includes books, articles, audio and videotapes dealing with various aspects of mental illness.  Guest speakers or special events are scheduled periodically.

Group meetings are facilitated by a mental health professional, and are held at PMHC, twice a month, on Monday evenings.  Newcomers are always welcome and meetings are free of charge.   

CORE Group: This is a consumer facilitated self help group. The Core group keeps current on mental health trends and initiatives, and educates other consumers about these issues. Consumers may also access Core group members with any concerns or suggestions to improve any Penndel Mental Health Center service.

  Consultation/ Education and Training: Education and training is an important aspect of a family member’s learning to deal/cope with serious mental illness.  Therefore, there are funds available to assist family members in attending community workshops and seminars relating to mental illness.
