A free drop-in support group for people living with mental illness, their families and friends is being held the first Thursday of every month at Congregation Beth Sholom in San Francisco. The next gathering is Aug. 5.

The group is sponsored by Nachamu (“Comfort”) Network, the synagogue’s mental illness support program. Anyone affected by mental illness is invited to share experiences.

The group meets from 7 to 9 p.m. at Congregation Beth Sholom, 301 #14th Ave., S.F. For information, contact Maureen Samson at [email protected] or the synagogue at (415) 221-8736.
