NAMI MC is offering Its Free NAMI Basics Class starting this week

[Anonymous]

NAMI Basics is a free, six week education program for parents and family caregivers of children and teens who are experiencing symptoms of a mental illness or whom have already been diagnosed. NAMI Basics is offered in a group setting so you can connect with other people face-to-face.

The classes will meet on Wednesdays for 6 weeks beginning December 5th, 2018 from 6:30pm - 9:00pm at our NAMI MC Program Office - 11718 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, MD 20852.

You'll learn the facts about mental health conditions and how best to support your child at home, at school and when they're getting medical care. Last year, 99% of participants told us they would recommend the program to other parents.

The course is taught by a trained team with lived experience—they know what you're going through because they've been there. The six-session program provides critical strategies for taking care of your child and learning the ropes of recovery.
