Family-to-Family

Link to current schedule

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 you in a confidential setting. 

  • Learn how families unite together against this disability. 
  • Learn what your relative is actually experiencing. 
  • Learn about the biology of the disorders and about current research.

The course focuses on:

  • schizophrenia
  • bipolar disorder (manic depression)
  • clinical depression
  • panic disorder
  • obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • borderline personality disorder

The course discusses the treatment of these illnesses, and teaches the knowledge and skills that family members need in order to cope more effectively.

For more information, call the NAMI Hamilton County office at 513-458-6670, or email Pat Brown, our Director of Education and Outreach.
