The National Alliance on Mental Illness Pasco County will offer NAMI Family-to-Family, a free, 12-session education program for family, significant others and friends of people living with mental illness, starting Aug. 18, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., in the West Pasco area. The sessions will meet once a week.
Participants can learn how to manage crises, solve problems and communicate effectively; how to take care of themselves and manage stress; how to develop the confidence and stamina to provide support with compassion; and, how to find and use local supports and services.
Topics also will include up-to-date information on mental health conditions, current treatments, and the impact of mental illness on a whole family.
