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.

COVID19 Update: Classes and Presentations Canceled Until Further Notice

NAMI Northern Virginia's work to provide education to our community will continue during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because we are not permitted to have in-person classes or presentations at this time, we are currently looking into virtual alternatives for this spring.
