NAMI Peer-to-Peer 
NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a free 12-hour, 8-session educational program for adults living with a mental health condition. Taught by NAMI-trained volunteers who have lived experience with a mental health condition, this class includes activities, discussion, and informative videos. However, as with all NAMI programs, it does not include recommendations for treatment approaches.

NAMI Family-to-Family
NAMI Family-to-Family is a free 20-hour, 8-session educational program for family members, partners, and friends of individuals living with a mental health condition. It is a designated evidence-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.
