"Come to where you can be with others that have similar experiences and understand where you are coming from, where you are not judged, where you are accepted unconditionally, where you can learn from others, and others can learn from you, or you can sit quietly and listen, or you can sit quietly and just be," a news release stated.

If you are a caregiver or family member of an individual living with a mental health condition you are welcome to attend. This includes people who live in Oak Ridge, but also people outside of the city, according to a news release.
