Hand-to-Hand

Link to current schedule

Hand-to-Hand is a nine week education program designed to foster learning, healing and empowerment among parents and families of children with emotional-mental-neurobiological disorders.  Along with other families of children and teens who share many of your same concerns, you will learn about major depression, bipolar disorder, childhood schizophrenia, ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety disorder, among others. 

You will receive up to date information about medications, side-effects, and problems with medication compliance, the biological basis of mental illnesses, treatment options and recovery. Understanding special education needs and working with the juvenile justice system is addressed in separate classes. The program's dual focus on education and personal insight provides a comprehensive service for coping parents.

Attend with other family members just like you in a confidential setting.  Learn how families unite together against these disorders.  Learn about the biology of the brain and about current research.  Feel the comfort with others who will not see you as dysfunctional families, but families who have children with special needs.

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