NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-week educational program for family, significant others and friends of people with mental illness. 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. It facilitates a better understanding of mental health diagnoses, increases coping skills and empowers participants to become advocates for their family members.
NAMI Family-to-Family is taught by NAMI-trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussions and interactive exercises. Watch the video above to learn why family members teach Family-to-Family. To sign up for the Fall 2021 program, call us at 937-322-5600 or email us by using the "Sign up" email button at the right.
"The course gave me hope that it will be okay, that I am not alone and reduced a lot of shame, guilt and hopelessness."
" I thought my wife and I knew just about everything there is to know about the system and the illness. Boy, were we wrong. Without a doubt, this is the best support course I have had the privilege of taking part in, bar none."
