PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

FAMILY EDUCATION

Family-to-Family,    NAMI's signature family education program, provides detailed information about the biology of the brain and family coping skills through a twelve-week course that is offered at no cost to participants. The curriculum is taught by trained volunteer family members and focuses on the clinical treatment of the major mental illnesses and teaches the knowledge and skills that family members need to cope more effectively. 


Hand-to-Hand is a similar nine-week educational program for parents and caregivers of children offered through NAMI Greater Cleveland. This program, taught by trained volunteer family members, offers more focus on the local mental health system and school environment to assist the parent in understanding and navigation of these systems.

PEER EDUCATION

Peer-to-Peer This nine-week course offers a comprehensive curriculum through which teams of three trained mentors, or peer teachers who are experienced in living with mental illness, teach other consumers about managing their mental illness. The course establishes recovery as a feasible, supportable goal.
