NAMI Connection Central
This group is for people living with Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and other disorders. We meet for 90 minutes and offer a structured group process led by trained facilitators designed to encourage, support and empower.

Every Monday, 6:30-8:00 PM
Trinity House
531 East Ponce de Leon Ave
Decatur, GA 30030

DIRECTIONS:
WE ARE MEETING AT A NEW PLACE, the Trinity House of Holy Trinity Church in Decatur. The address is 531 East Ponce de Leon Avenue, Decatur 30030. It is a house next to the church.

The church is at the corner of Sycamore Place and East Ponce de Leon. It is on the east side of Decatur Square. The church parking lot can be reached off Sycamore Street or Sycamore Place. The church address is 515 E. Ponce de Leon, but there is no entrance tot he parking lot from that street. From the parking lot, you go to East Ponce de Leon and turn right. You pass the church and the playground and the Trinity House is the first house on the right. There will be a NAMI sign in front. We cannot park in the driveway of the house, so park at the church.

The closest MARTA station is Avondale. From there walk down Sycamore toward Decatur for ~1/2 mile, turn right on Sycamore Place after you pass the church parking lot. Go to the next street and turn right on East Ponce de Leon.

For more information, leave a message for Edi at (404) 378-1221.
