Greetings from NAMI Metropolitan Baltimore ,
NAMI Metropolitan Baltimore, Inc (NAMI-MB) is a grassroots, family-oriented support, education and advocacy organization founded in 1981. NAMI offers opportunities for family members and individuals with mental illness to gain balance and rebuild lives devastated by mental illness. Through peer support groups, education, and advocacy we promote a greater understanding of mental illness. In addition to support groups in Pikesville and Baltimore , we currently have free education courses for family members of individuals diagnosed with a mental illness.
Family to Family Education Program
Family-to-Family is a free 12-week course for close relatives of individuals with severe brain disorders (mental illnesses). Trained family members teach the course. All course materials are furnished to participants at no cost. The curriculum discusses the clinical treatment of major mental illnesses and teaches the knowledge and skills that family members need to cope more effectively. The commitment is two and one half hours per week for twelve weeks. It is essential that participants attend all 12 classes because each class builds on the prior class. Registration is required.
