There is still time for residents to join a local nonprofit organization for a free educational program for friends and family of those dealing with mental illness.
Family to Family is a two-hour program every Wednesday evening sponsored by NAMI, or the National Alliance on Mental Illness, that begins December 3rd and continues through January 21st.
This virtual, ZOOM class will include education about different mental health conditions as well as communication, problem-solving, treatment, and recovery. Those interested in participating should visit the website of NAMI to register by 1 p.m. tomorrow (Wednesday).
The NAMI website also has resources to provide practical strategies for managing stress, supporting mental health, and staying grounded during the holiday season.
