Achraiyut, a support group for Jewish persons with a mental illness, will be meeting from 7:15 to 9 p.m. Monday, Aug. 5 at the Chai Apartments, 6 Millstone Campus Drive in Creve Coeur.  In Hebrew, Achraiyut means “to assume responsibility.” The group is designed for those who have taken the first step toward recovery by accepting their mental illness and receiving treatment to achieve the greatest possible state of wellness. The group meets monthly, usually on the first Monday of each month.  There is no charge for attending the meetings, which are facilitated by a person who is living with a mental illness. The group is not a therapy group, but rather a support group based on mutual support, encouragement and positive feedback. For more information, call 314-994-1542.
