The Family-to-Family Program is a free, 12-session educational program offered by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Classes will be held on Thursdays from 6:30 to 9 p.m. and taught by trained teachers who are also family members and know what it is like to have a loved one 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.

A past participant stated, “This course overall was the single most, without a doubt, helpful and informative thing ever offered in all my years searching for answers… It has helped me to understand better and communicate more effectively with my brother.”
A mother commented, “The course has helped me to realize that my son is still inside the body that is often times hidden by the mental illness and that I am not alone in this.”
