NAMI Family Support Group

NAMI Family-to-Family support groups will be held at Floris UMC throughout the year.

NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8 session educational program for family, significant others and friends of people with mental health conditions. It is designated evidenced-based program. This means that research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition.

NAMI Family-to-Family is taught by NAMI trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussions and interactive exercises. In the program, you’ll learn about:

• How to solve problems and communicate effectively
• Taking care of yourself and managing your stress
• Supporting your loved one with compassion
• Finding and using local supports and services
• Up-to-date information on mental health conditions and how they affect the brain
• How to handle a crisis
• Current treatment and therapies
• The impact of mental health conditions on the entire family
