NAMI Family to Family Class Announced

NAMI of Seneca, Sandusky, and Wyandot Counties (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is offering the Family to Family program, a free education course to help family members learn about mental illness, treatment, & recovery.

The Family to Family course will be held at Pontifex, 416 W. State St., Fremont on 12 consecutive Wednesdays from 6:30-9:00 p.m. starting Sept. 8, 2010.

The course is taught by trained family members. All instruction and course materials are free to class participants. Over 115,000 family members have graduated from this national program. It is open to any family member, caregiver, or provider.

This class has been a consistent force in helping families to understand the clinical treatment of brain disorders and teaches the knowledge and skills that family members need to cope more effectively. It lets them know more about what their loved ones face in a way that is non-judgmental, factual, and yet encouraging.

There is no fee to attend, but registration is required. To register, call the NAMI office at 419-334-8021, toll free 1-888-582-8889.
