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 115,000 individuals nationwide to date – is offered by NAMI-NYS affiliates free of charge. For more information on the Family-to-Family Program, please contact Paul Klein at (518) 462-2000, or via e-mail at paul@naminys.org
