She has been a facilitator of a National Alliance on Mental Illness Family and Friends Support Group and a co-facilitator of a Hearing Voices Support Group with the Western Massachusetts Recovery Learning Community. She was recently invited to participate in monthly online meetings with family support group facilitators which includes participants from coast to coast in the USA.
