NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-week course for families, partners and friends of individuals with serious mental illness taught by trained NAMI family members and caregivers of individuals living with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder. The course aims to guide family members to emotional understanding, healing, insight, and action. Allowing family members to move at their own emotional pace means we do not push the “intellectual/cognitive” learning (head) part of the course, but rather pay attention to the integration of self-selected knowledge and “emotional understanding” (heart). Described by many family members as life-changing, this course provides caregivers with communication and problem-solving techniques, coping strategies, and the self-care skills needed to deal with their loved one’s mental illness as well as the impact on their family.</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote>
