NAMI Family-to-Family Teacher Training Scheduled

NAMI Iowa is looking for individuals who are family members and live in and are served by Cross County Rural Offices of Social Services, which includes the following counties: Clarke, Decatur, Lucas, Marion, Monroe, Ringgold and Wayne who are interested in becoming teachers of our family-to-family education program. Training will be held April 28th-April 30th in Osceola, Iowa at the American State Bank Community Room 1000 Jeffreys.  Click here for more information about registering for this training.

NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 12-session education program for family, partners, friends and significant others of adults living with mental illness. The course is designed to help all family members understand and support their loved one living with mental illness, while maintaining their own well-being. The course includes information on illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression and other mental health conditions. The program is taught by trained teachers who are also family members and know what it is like to have a loved one living with mental illness.

NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. NAMI IOWA and dedicated volunteers, members and leaders work tirelessly to raise awareness and provide essential education, advocacy and support group programs for people in our community living with mental illness and their loved ones.
