This 8-week education program is offered at no cost to participants. It is nationally developed and federal agency approved. NAMI Family-to-Family not only provides information and strategies for taking care of the person you love, but you'll also find out that you're not alone. This course is funded by the Eastern IA Mental Health Region and residents of Muscatine, Scott, Cedar, Clinton and Jackson counties will be given registration priority.

Who should attend: family members and caregivers of an adult living with a mental health condition such as anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia. NAMI educators will call registrants prior to course to provide details and learn more about your situation.
