Spring NAMI Peer-to-Peer is now enrolling for its course that starts Monday, April 15, 2013 to be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Aurora Social Rehabilitation Services location at 104 W. Main St. Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 (Across from Jo-Jo's Pizza). The 1st session is a orientation so it is not too late to call and get information or to register even the evening of the 15th.

This is not a Certified Peer Specialist Training (CPS) training. The NAMI Peer-to-Peer Recovery Education Course is for your own recovery and the CPS training is to assist others in their own recovery. There is no cost for the NAMI Peer-to-Peer 10 week course that runs April 15th - June 17th, 2013.  More details can be found in this flyer NAMI Peer-to-Peer Spring 2013 Course Information Flyer (pdf) and visiting www.nami.org/peertopeer 

 The 1st Tuesday and 3rd Thursday meetings have changed their format to one that has a quarterly public education program at each location instead of monthly. Program topics and details will be available in the running calendar below. On the months when no Public Education is being held at a location the meeting will consist only of a support group meeting. The support groups on the 1st Tuesday and 3rd Thursday are Blended Peer Support Groups which means family members and users of services (sometimes referred to as clients, consumers, persons with the lived experience) are there together to give mutual support and encouragement. 

Don't forget the NAMI Connection Support Group meeting in Mechanicsburg, PA 2nd Friday of each month from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. To learn more about NAMI Connection visit www.nami.org/connection   See local support group listings flyer in upper right hand corner box however only one is a NAMI Connection Support Group
