NAMI Peer-to-Peer Summer Education Program

NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a unique, experiential learning program for adults experiencing a mental health challenge who are interested in establishing and maintaining their wellness and recovery. Peer-to-Peer consists of eight two-hour units and is taught by a team of two trained “Mentors” and a volunteer support person who are personally experienced at living well with mental illness.

Participants come away from the course with:
Tangible resources.
A “relapse prevention plan” to help identify tell-tale feelings, thoughts, behavior, or events that may warn of impending relapse and to organize for intervention.
Mindfulness exercises to help focus and calm thinking.
Survival skills for working with providers and the general public.

Classes are held every Thursday and pre-registration is required
