Family to Family

NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 12-session education program for family, partners, friends and significant others of adults living with mental illness.

The course is designed to help all family members understand and support their loved one living with mental illness, while maintaining their own well-being.

The course includes information on illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression and other mental health conditions.

Thousands of families describe the program as life-changing.

The program is taught by trained facilitators who are also family members and know what it’s like to have a loved one living with mental illness.

 For more information about the curriculum and a video, go to www.nami.org and go to “NAMI Programs” at the bottom center of the screen and click on “Family-to-Family”.

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)'.
