NAMI BASICS Class for Parents - Tu./Thurs. eve. for 3 weeks beginning Sept. 15th

NAMI Basics is a free six-session program designed for parents and other family caregivers of children and adolescents with emotional and behavorial difficulties.  NAMI Basics helps parents and caregivers to understand the illnesses that are causing these behavorial difficulties and the critical role families play in the treatment of these illnesses.  The program is taught by trained teachers who are the parents/family caregivers of individuals who experienced emotional or behavorial difficulties prior to age 13.

Participant Perspectives:

"This ia such a great step by step program that walks parents every step of the way. It is as if you are holding their hand through it all."

"The course is inclusive of almost all aspects of family and child resources.  I could have spent a lifetime getting this information on my own. I feel supported, strong and ready to go forward."

"NAMI Basics bridges the gap. It provides help that can't be found in a doctor's office."
