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. 

NAMI Family-to-Family is taught by NAMI-trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussions, and interactive exercises.
