NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a free, eight-session educational program for adults with mental health conditions who are looking to better understand themselves and their recovery.

​

  • The course is taught by trained and nationally certified peer mentors
     

  • All instruction and course materials are free to class participants
     

  • Offered in a group setting so you can connect with other people face-to-face

​

  • Participants come away from the course with a “relapse prevention plan”, mindfulness exercises to help focus with calm thinking and stress reduction, and survival skills for working with providers and the general public. 

What people have to say

​

“NAMI Peer-to-Peer instructors helped me on my journey. The relapse prevention chart  helped me see some of my triggers, and the target activity helped me see my goals. Every class was a AHA! moment!
