The NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program has been cited as a “best
practice in recovery” by the Ohio Department of Mental Health. This 12-week
course is for families and friends of persons with mental illness. The course is
taught by trained family members. All course materials are furnished at no cost
to you.
You will attend with other family members just like

The course focuses on:

The course discusses the treatment of these illnesses, and teaches the
