Hello
I am sure that there are...you just have to find one. Why don't you start with NAMI...the National Alliance on Mental Illness and call their information line:
1 (800) 950-NAMI (6264), Monday through Friday, 10 am- 6 pm, Eastern time.
Let me know if this helps...if not we can look some more.
Thank you for your question.
