NAMI Basics

NAMI Basics is a free 6-week program that allows families to connect to one another while learning about mental illness, its impact on children and adolescents, strategies to deal with schools and providers and tools to empower parents/caregivers to overcome new challenges.  This program is specifically for parents and other caregivers of children and adolescents with mental illness who have diverse complex needs.

It’s OK to not be OK.It’s okay to talk about suicide. Thoughts of giving up and suicide can be frightening. Not taking these kinds of thoughts seriously can have devastating outcomes. If you are concerned about suicide and don’t know what to do, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline '1-800-273-TALK (8255)'.
