Family-to-Family

The NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program is a valuable 12-session course designed for family members, caregivers, and loved ones of adults dealing with mental illness. Taught by trained family members, this free program balances skill-building with self-care and emotional support. With a substantial nationwide reach, having graduated over 300,000 individuals, it offers current information on various mental health conditions, medications, and research-backed treatment approaches. Beyond education, it fosters empathy by delving into the lived experiences of those with mental illness and provides practical workshops for problem-solving and communication. Furthermore, the program equips participants with strategies for crisis management, caregiver self-care, and guidance on accessing community resources and advocating for improved mental health services.
