NAMI Family-to-Family Education Course

The fall course is currently at capacity and not taking additional participants.

We suggest you check the NAMI website for other support groups and educational offerings in Kansas and Missouri.

During the 12-week course, participants will learn communication and problem-solving techniques as well as coping mechanisms to help them deal with their loved one’s journey with mental illness.

This free, 12-week series of classes is for family and friends of individuals with mental illness.

Mondays, September 9 – December 2*

(*NOTE: Due to Jewish holidays, there will be no class on Monday, Sept. 30, and two classes will be held on Tuesdays – Oct. 15 & Oct. 22.)

6:30-9:00 p.m. in Conference Room C, Jewish Community Campus
5801 W. 115th St., Overland Park, KS.
Participants must commit to the entire 12 weeks.

“Before I took the course, I felt alone and overwhelmed dealing with my daughter’s mental illness. By taking this course, I have met others who are going through the same things I am and have learned about many resources that I never knew existed.”

Space is limited for the free course, so those interested are asked to register in advance by contacting NAMI representative Doris Hamilton, dorishamilton200@yahoo.com or 913-242-5227.
