January At NAMI
A new year can bring a mix of emotions—and January is a good time to focus on care, not pressure.
Throughout the month, our Drop-In Center in Oak Park and Living Room locations in La Grange and Summit remain open and ready to support you.
There’s no need to schedule ahead or have it all figured out. Just show up as you are.
Whether you’re joining a group, talking with someone who understands, or simply taking a pause—you’re always welcome here.
