Family to Family is a free 12-week course about illnesses of the brain such as schizophrenia, major depression, bi-polar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety disorders. The course covers topics such as brain biology, problem solving, medications, developing empathy, better communication, self-care, recovery, advocacy, and a host of helpful resources. This is an essential guide to mental illness, an invaluable tool to putting all the pieces together.

“Family members who take the NAMI Family-to-Family course are better equipped to work with mental health clinicians in a collaborative manner.  My bottom-line recommendation? Take this course.  It will help you learn to cope successfully with a major challenge in your life, and that, in turn, will help your loved one as he or she works toward recovery.”

– Peter Weiden, M.D., author of Breakthroughs in Antipsychotic Medications
