NAMI Peer-to-Peer

NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a free, 8-session educational program for people with mental health conditions who are looking to better understand themselves and their recovery.

Taught by trained leaders with lived experience, this program includes activities, discussions, and informative videos. Great value is placed on the individual experiences of each person in the class, and participants are empowered and invited to share their own stories and the coping tools that have worked for them.

NAMI Peer-to-Peer classes are taught by two NAMI-trained teachers who are living with a mental health condition. The training involves a 3-5 hours online session, as well as a 2-day classroom component. A one-year commitment is requested for all new teachers.
