Needs From: Skagit Volunteer Center

Be the voice that helps someone feel less alone.

Join our NAMI Connection Recovery Support Group as a peer support leader. At NAMI Skagit, we believe that each volunteer is a gift, and we're looking for compassionate volunteers to share it. As a peer support group facilitator, you'll help lead our monthly NAMI Connection Recovery Support Group — a safe, confidential space where people living with mental health conditions come together to share, connect, and find strength in one another.

What we’re looking for:

Someone living with a mental health condition who supports a safe space without judgment and believes in the power of shared experience, empathy, and peer connection, committed to confidentiality and respect for all participants. 

What you'll help create:

A judgment-free space where members build better coping skills and discover inner strength and a community that embraces honesty, humor, and self-forgiveness as part of healing. 

No professional experience required - just compassion, empathy, and passion for helping others. All volunteer leaders must be 18+ and will complete training, interviews, and background checks. 

Turn your experience into support. Be the voice that helps families feel heard, understood, and less alone.

Join our NAMI Family Support Group as a meeting leader. At NAMI Skagit, we believe that each volunteer is a gift, and we're looking for compassionate volunteers to share it. As a family support group facilitator, you'll help lead our monthly NAMI Family Support Group — a safe, confidential space where family and friends supporting a loved one with mental health conditions come together to share, connect, and find strength in one another.

What we’re looking for:
Someone who provides a safe, welcoming space for families and loved ones to share experiences, find hope, and connect with others who understand. Participants gain support, build coping skills, discover strength through shared experiences, and learn to let go of guilt while recognizing that mental health conditions are no one's fault. Together, families find understanding, encouragement, and a sense of community.

What you'll help create: A judgment-free space where families and friends gain insights from the challenges and successes of peers on a similar journey as you. You are not alone.

No professional experience required - just compassion, empathy, and passion for helping others. All volunteer leaders must be 18+ and will complete training, interviews, and background checks.
