We are an affiliate of the National Schizophrenia Foundation and support their goals. Our program is a peer lead and peer focused support group, following the “Six Steps for Recovery” as outlined by the Foundation.
We meet in an informal setting with the expectation of recovery. Anyone diagnosed with schizophrenia or related disorders, is encouraged to visit our meeting. If you like what you experience, you will be invited to become a regular participant.
The meetings are without charge.
The purpose of Schizophrenia Anonymous is:
- To help restore dignity and sense of purpose for persons who are working for recovery from schizophrenia or related disorders.
- To offer fellowship, positive support, and companionship in order to achieve good mental health.
- To improve our own attitudes about our lives and our illness.
- To provide members with the latest information regarding schizophrenia.
- To encourage members to take positive steps towards recovery from the illness.
