NAMI Family & Friends is a free four-hour seminar that informs people who have loved ones with a mental health condition how to best support them. It’s also an opportunity to meet other people in similar situations and gain community support. The seminar is led by trained people with lived experience of supporting a family member with a mental health condition. Participants learn about diagnoses, treatment, recovery, communication strategies, crisis preparation and NAMI resources. Upon arrival, there will be a staff member to meet you in the lobby and ensure you make it to the correct classroom. We recommend that you bring a pen with you for any notes you may wish to take. We look forward to seeing you then!
