Registration Open for FALL
Family-to-Family
We have recently completed our first NAMI Geauga
County Family to Family Instructional Course. This FREE 12
class education course, taught by trained family members,
provides in-depth basic education and skill training for families
and friends presented with the challenges of having a loved
one diagnosed with a severe mental illness or biologically-based
brain disorder.
For many families this is where they find out
for the first time that they are not alone, that there is
information available, and that they can learn to better support
recovery for their loved one. If you or someone you know is
interested in taking this course in the FALL; please call
285-3945 to register. We still have some openings. The class
members who completed this course in the past had great things
to say about the experience. We have included just a few of
the many positive comments we have received on evaluations
completed at the end of our Spring class here.
