About Family to Family
The NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program is a free 12-week course
for family caregivers of individuals with severe brain disorders (mental
illnesses). The course is taught by trained family members. All instruction
and course materials are free for class participants.
The Family-to-Family curriculum focuses on schizophrenia, bipolar disorder
(manic depression), clinical depression, panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD). The course discusses the clinical treatment of these
illnesses and teaches the knowledge and skills that family members need
to cope more effectively.
