NAMI-NYS
is pleased to offer the Family-to-Family Program, a dynamic
12-week family psychoeducation course offered to - and
taught by - individuals who have a loved one with a serious
mental illness.
Developed
by Joyce Burland of National NAMI, the Family-to-Family
curriculum provides participants with clear, accurate,
and practical information on topics such as the categories
of an biology of mental illness; medications and research;
crisis management; communication skills; problem solving;
self-care; advocacy, and recovery. A recent study conducted
by the University of Maryland School of Medicine showed
that course participants gained a greater understanding
of mental illness, coped much better, worried less, and
felt newly empowered to advocate for better treatment
and services for their relative.
The
course - taken by over 80,000 individuals nationwide to
date – is offered by NAMI-NYS affiliates free of
charge. For more information on the Family-to-Family Program,
please contact Rachel Greco at (800) 950-3228, or via
