Mission | July 24, 2016

The National Alliance on Mental Illness will hold Family-to-Family, a free class for families, partners, and friends of individuals 18 years or older living with a serious mental health condition.

The course is designed to facilitate a better understanding of a condition, increase coping skills, and empower participants to become advocates for their family member.

Course topics include family response to trauma, diagnosis and dealing with critical periods, problem solving, communication skills, and self-care for caregivers. The program is 12 weeks long and is offered in two locations.

  • August 30 to November 15: St. Malachy Catholic Church, Geneseo, Illinois.
  • September 1 to November 17: St. Paul Lutheran Church, Davenport.

Registration is through August 19 by calling 563-322-8870 or emailing at coordinator@namigmv.org. Instructors will call prior to the start of class to learn more about the family and answer questions.
