NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-session education program specifically for family members, partners, and friends of adults (18+) who live with mental illness. The course is designed to facilitate a better understanding of mental illness, increase coping, and empower participants to become advocates for their family members.
NAMI Family-to-Family not only provides critical information and strategies for taking care of the person you love, but you’ll also find out that you’re not alone. Recovery is a journey, and there is hope. In this program you’ll learn about:
• How to manage crises, solve problems, and communicate effectively • Taking care of yourself and managing your stress • Developing the confidence and stamina to provide support with compassion • Up-to-date information on mental health conditions and how they affect the brain • Current treatments, including evidence-based therapies, medications, and side effects • The impact of mental illness on the entire family
Registration closes Jan. 17 or once the course reaches capacity.
NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a free, eight-session educational program for adults with mental health conditions who are looking to better understand themselves and their recovery. Taught by trained leaders with lived experience, this program includes activities, discussions, and informative videos. However, as with all NAMI programs, it does not include recommendations for treatment approaches.
NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a safe, confidential space. The course provides an opportunity for mutual support and growth. Experience compassion and understanding from people who relate to your experiences. This is a place to learn more about recovery in an accepting environment.
NAMI Peer-to-Peer helps you: • Set a vision and goals for the future • Partner with health care providers • Develop confidence for making decisions • Practice relaxation and stress reduction tools • Share your story • Strengthen relationships • Enhance communication skills • Learn about mental health treatment options
