The NAMI Provider Education Program offers 15 hours of in-service training to line staff at public mental health agencies, taught by a trained 5-member team of family members, consumers and a mental health provider who is either a family member or a consumer. Now active in 20 states and Ontario, Canada, the course emphasizes the lived experience of mental illness, expands compassion for the daily realities of this heroic struggle, and prepares staff members to practice a collaborative consumer/provider/ family treatment team model of care.
