Peer-to-Peer Educational Series

NAMI Peer-To-Peer

NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a FREE, 8-session educational program for adults with mental illness who are looking to better understand their condition and journey toward recovery.

Taught by a trained team of people who've been there, the program includes presentations, discussions, and interactive exercises. Everything is confidential, and NAMI never recommends a specific medical therapy or treatment approach.
