NAMI Family-to-Family

Family-to-Family is a free educational program that teaches caregivers, family members, and friends how to support and advocate for individuals with serious mental illness. The course is taught by a team of trained NAMI family member volunteers who know what it’s like to have a loved one struggling with mental illness. The program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to an individual living with a mental health condition. In the program, you’ll help others and 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
• Finding and using local supports and services
• 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
