Educational Programs

NAMI Family and Friends

NAMI Family and Friends is a 90-minute program taught virtually for family or friends of persons living with mental illness. This program serves as a Mental Health 101 for service clubs, churches, work places and other community groups. It’s also an opportunity to meet other people in similar situations and gain community support. 


The seminar is led by trained people with lived experience of supporting a family member with a mental health condition. They will walk you through the following topics:

  • Understanding diagnoses, treatment and recovery
  • Effective communication strategies
  • The importance of self-care
  • Crisis preparation strategies
  • NAMI and community resources

What People are sayinG

 “Hearing personal experiences and how relatable my experiences are to them was very helpful. Hearing specific strategies to communicate and specific traits that people with mental illness have. Know that the illness is what can cause “cruelty” and poor decisions rather than the person.”


  “I have a better understanding of how mental illness impacts the person affected…it was nice to hear the stories of the instructors and their paths. The handbook (eBook) given has a lot of helpful information which I did not know about.”
