The NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program is a free, 12-week course for family caregivers and friends of individuals with severe mental illnesses. The course is taught by trained volunteer NAMI members who have lived with this experience.

The Family-to-Family Education course offers education and support on how to more effectively work with the loved one with mental illness, and how to access and leverage resources in the community. In addition, you will gain insight into how mental illness affects your loved one and a look inside some of today's current brain research, medications and treatment options.
