EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS

We meet once a month for our educational meetings.  The meetings are at Dunwoody United Methodist Church, 1548 Mt. Vernon Road, Dunwoody, on the fourth Monday of each month in Room 258. Come at 7PM and enjoy refreshments and meet new friends.  Our meetings start promptly at 730PM. The purpose of these meetings is to have speakers knowledgeable about mental health issues that will help us help our family members.In recent months we have had speakers with topics on:

Jail Diversion

Suicide Prevention

Social Security Disability, Medicare, Medicaid

What happens after we’re gone; Special Needs Trusts, Guardianships, etc.

Crisis Intervention Team

A psychiatrist talking about the latest medications and side effects

Northside Mental Health

Skyland Trail Treatment Center

We feel these meetings are interesting and helpful.  If you are interested in a particular subject, please let one of our officers know. We want to have speakers who are advocates and can help us understand more on mental illness and ways to improve our loved ones life.

Come and learn more about how you can help your family member.  Bring a friend.  The more people we can educate on this subject, the better it will be for all concerned.
