- Bipolar Disorder (also called Manic Depression)
- Major Depression
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder
- Panic Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Co-occurring Brain Disorders and Addictive Disorder
Do you need answers to these questions:
- What happens during a psychiatric crisis?
- What type of treatment is available for those with mental illness?
- What is the best way to communicate with my loved one?
The course is a series of 12 weekly classes structured to help family members understand and support their ill relative while maintaining their own well being. The course is taught by a team of trained family members who know what it's like to have a loved one with a serious mental illness in the family. There is no cost to participate in the NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program and all course materials are free. Over 115,000 family members in the U.S. and Canada have completed this course. We think you will be pleased by how much assistance the program offers. We invite you to call for more information.
