NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-session educational program that will meet weekly on Thursdays 6:30-8:30pm starting August 6, 2026 through September 24, 2026. This program is intended 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.
NAMI Family-to-Family is taught by NAMI-trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussions, and interactive exercises.
