NAMI Family-to-Family support groups will be held at Floris UMC throughout the year.

NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8 session educational program for family, significant others and friends of people with mental health conditions. It is designated evidenced-based program. This means that research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition.

NAMI Family-to-Family is taught by NAMI trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussions and interactive exercises. In the program, you’ll learn about:

  • How to solve problems and communicate effectively
  • Taking care of yourself and managing your stress
  • Supporting your loved one with compassion
  • Finding and using local supports and services
  • Up-to-date information on mental health conditions and how they affect the brain
  • How to handle a crisis
  • Current treatment and therapies
  • The impact of mental health conditions on the entire family
