Upcoming Programs

 

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), Preble County Chapter, announces two free educational class series.

Hand-To-Hand -- 9 Week Course – None scheduled at this time

Learning your child has an emotional/mental or neurobiological disorder can be overwhelming. Caring for that child can be an extraordinarily difficult task for any parent. Hurdles to overcome may include educating yourselves on the illness and medications, coping with social stigma, dealing with insurance companies and raising siblings that are well or may have problems of their own. The Hand-to-Hand Family Education Program has been developed to address these concerns, help parents to cope with these unique stresses as well as to assist parents in caring for this own well-being.

The Hand-to-Hand Family Education Program consists of a series of 9 free weekly classes and has been developed and is taught by family members, who are part of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). You will be joining other families with children or teens with serious mental/emotional disorders including major depression, bipolar disorder, childhood schizophrenia, ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety disorder, among others. The program's dual focus on education and personal insight provides a comprehensive service for coping parents.

Family-To-Family -- 12 Week Course – None scheduled at this time  

If you are a person who feels like they would really like to help their family member who is mentally ill but can’t quite figure out how, then the Family-To-Family classes from NAMI may be the answer. This course from NAMI has educated thousands of people in order for them to gain a greater understanding of mental illness and empower them to advocate on behalf of their family member.
We have classes on schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, depression and all the other related illnesses. This class is a free form of education and support for families who have relatives with serious mental illness. We hope that you will attend and also we hope that you will let others know about NAMI’s Family-to-Family course. You will be given a lot of material on specific mental illnesses and mental illness in general. There is no pressure put on anyone, just come and listen if you like. We look forward to seeing you!
