NAMI Family & Friends

NAMI Family & Friends is a free, four-hour seminar that informs adults who have loved ones with a mental health condition how to best support them. It’s also an opportunity to meet other people in similar situations and gain community support.

Seminars are open to adults (18+). Scroll down to learn more about these educational presentations. (These are not sales or fundraising events. No vendors are allowed.)
