Next class beginning Tuesday April 14th
3:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Consumer Family Learning Center
Peer to Peer is a nine week course
There is no charge to attend
You do not have to be a NAMI member
NAMI's Recovery Curriculum is taught
PEER TO PEER IS OFFERED ONLY
TO THOSE WHO ARE AFFLICTED WITH A BRAIN DISORDER.
NOT THE FAMILY MEMBERS
What is NAMI's Peer to Peer Program?
Peer-to-Peer consists of nine two-hour classes and is taught by a team of three trained "Mentors' who are personally experienced at living well with a brain disorder.
Mentors are trained in weekend long training sessions, supplied with teaching manuals, and are paid a stipend for each course they teach.
Participants come away from the course with a binder of hand-out materials, as well as many other tangible resources: an advance directive; 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.
