In addition to the monthly education meeting, NAMI North Coastal hosts a variety of support group meetings free of charge. NAMI Support Group Meetings (formerly referred to as Share & Care) offer the opportunity for individuals to benefit from the mutual sharing of their experiences and concerns with others who have dealt with and are dealing with similar issues. They are facilitated by NAMI trained leaders, conducted in an atmosphere of care and concern, and modeled after the Family to Family Educational Series.

NAMI North Coastal also hosts NAMI Connection peer-based support groups. It is an alliance composed of individuals (consumers or clients, as they prefer to be called) who have in common the experience of living with a serious and persistent mental illness. In NAMI Connection, consumers share experiences and use them as learning oppportunities for themselves and others. The goal is to support and further their goals of self-help recovery from a mental illness.
