NAMI St. Louis Connection Application

I am willing to undergo training to become a NAMI Connection Support Group Leader. I am willing to adhere to the fidelity of the NAMI Connections Support Group model. I can make a commitment to lead group at least once a month for one year. I am willing to identify potential new leaders from my support group. I have a positive regard for, or personal experience with, mutual support. I am a member or am willing to become a member of NAMI St. Louis. I understand that my attendance at Leader Training does not guarantee I will be certified as a NAMI Connection Support Group Leader.

I expect to be informed of in-service training opportunities. I expect to be informed of job descriptions and supervisors for specific volunteer tasks. I hold harmless from liability NAMI St. Louis and its staff for any injury which might occur during volunteer activities. I give consent for background checks as deemed necessary for volunteer activities. I understand that I may seek assistance from the Program Specialist if problems arise in the performance of my volunteer duties which I cannot resolve with the staff.
