About their event:
In the aftermath of a disaster, it can be easy to let the emotional impact of the trauma take a back seat as one navigates immediate needs. At the same time, taking care of one's mental health in a time of crisis is critically important.

If you are an adult who has been impacted by the recent devastating tornado in our community, NAMI Fox Valley invites you to join us at a free peer support group specifically for those navigating the emotional impact of the storm and its aftermath.

Sorry for the late notice. Tomorrow evening’s FOL Meeting has been cancelled to allow our community members additional time to focus on storm clean up. We will update everyone on a rescheduled date as soon as possible.

Be well and stay strong! ❤️‍🩹
