NEW PROGRAM! NAMI Atlanta/Auburn Family to Family Education Program Starting February 25, 2020!

September 16, 2019 NAMI Events, NAMI News

NAMI Family-to-Family Educational Program

**COVID-19 UPDATE 3/23/2020: The program has been postponed due to the current pandemic. We hope to have an online meeting solution soon.**

NAMI Atlanta/Auburn is proud to announce that we will be hosting the NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program, along with the recently announced NAMI Peer-to-Peer Recovery Education Program beginning February 25, 2020! Our goal at NAMI Atlanta/Auburn is to provide training for the entire family unit.

NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-session educational program for family, significant others and friends of people with mental health conditions. It is a designated evidenced-based program. This means that research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition.

NAMI Family-to-Family is taught by NAMI-trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussions and interactive exercises.

Class Begins February 25, 2020!
