Free Online Course for Family Members and Friends of People with Mental Health Conditions

September 14, 2020 @ 9:00 am

Free

NAMI Family-to-Family is an 8-session educational course for family, significant others and friends of people with mental health conditions.
The NAMI Family-to-Family course starts Monday, September 14, 2020. The course will take place online and is completely FREE to participants.

The course is facilitated by NAMI-trained volunteers who have experience caring for a family member with mental health conditions, and includes presentations, discussions and interactive exercises.

Research shows that the course significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition.
The online group setting of NAMI Family-to-Family provides mutual support and shared positive impact—experience compassion and reinforcement from people who understand your situation. Sharing your own experience may help others in your class.

The NAMI Family-to-Family program was developed by the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation’s largest grassroots nonprofit organization aimed at improving quality of life for people living with mental health conditions and their families. NAMI Southwest CT is the local affiliate serving lower Fairfield County, CT.
