Family-to-Family Program Starting Soon
NAMI Northeast Region PA will host its free eight-session Family-to-Family Program beginning on Wednesday, November 6 in Scranton.
The NAMI Family-to-Family program is for family, significant others and friends of people with mental health conditions. It is an evidenced-based program shown to improve coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition.
The program is taught by NAMI-trained family members who have lived experience. It includes presentations, discussions and interactive exercises. In addition to current information on mental health conditions and treatments, participants will learn about effective problem solving and communication; self-care and stress management and crisis management; navigating local resources and supports and the impact of mental health conditions on the entire family.
This program will be held Sundays from 2-5PM and Wednesdays from 6-9PM November 6 through December 11. Attendees should plan to attend all (or most) of the 8 sessions.
The class is free but registration is required by completing the form here.

Supporting Recovery
When someone in your family has a mental health condition, your support makes a big difference. However, it may be hard for you to know what to say or do. It can be especially difficult to balance caring for your own health with encouraging others to be responsible for their actions. We can help you.
