NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-session educational program for family, significant others and friends of people with mental health conditions. It is a designated evidenced-based program. This means that research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition. These conditions may include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar or other mental health conditions.
NAMI Family-to-Family can help you and your loved one.
One in five people in Delaware and Morrow Counties experiences a mental health condition, but even that number doesn't measure the impact of mental illness. A mental health condition affects more than just the person who has a diagnosis. Families and friends also experience the impact of their loved one's mental health as it impacts relationships, roles and responsibilities.
Families face additional stress as they seek appropriate treatment and provide care for their loved one. The stigma of mental illness can also cause isolation. Families dealing with mental health diagnoses often struggle alone, at a time when they are most in need of support and understanding.
NAMI Family-to-Family can help provide that support.
This free educational class provides family members and friends with information to help them better understand their loved one's diagnosis and its impact. Through the course, we'll discuss the biological basis of mental health conditions, treatment options, as well as practice communication skills that can help improve your relationship with your loved one.
The knowledge and skills you'll gain through the course have been proven to contribute to better coping skills as well as decreased anxiety for families. Families who took the course also reported higher levels of problem-solving skills. (For more information on the research supporting these outcomes, view NAMI national's article here or Dr. Lisa Dixon's research here).
We understand because we've been there.
Our instructors understand what it is like to care for someone with a mental health condition. In order to lead a NAMI Family-to-Family course, instructors must have personal, lived experience caring for a loved one with a mental health condition. They understand the stress, worry, and emotions that accompany a mental health diagnosis, because they've been there. They understand the impact that mental health conditions can have on a family because they've personally experienced it.
