NAMI Peer-to-Peer helps you:

  • Create a personalized relapse prevention plan

  • Learn how to interact with health care providers

  • Develop confidence for making decisions and reducing stress

  • Stay up-to-date on mental health research

  • Understand the impact of symptoms on your life

  • Access practical resources on how to maintain your journey toward recovery

This program is taught by a NAMI trained instructor who has been there. Class includes presentations, discussion and interactive exercises. Everything is confidential, and NAMI never recommends a specific medical therapy or treatment approach.

Participants will receive a binder of hand-out materials, as well as many other tangible resources: an advance directive and a relapse prevention plan to help identify tell-tale feelings, thoughts, behavior, or events that may warn of impending relapse and to organize for intervention; mindfulness exercises to help focus and calm thinking; and survival skills for working with providers and the general public.
