Twelve Week Family-to Family Class Starts February 16

 NAMI Southwest CT, the local organization of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, will offer NAMI’s Family-to-Family program beginning Thursday, Feb. 16 in Ridgefield.

NAMI Family-to-Family program is a free, 12-session education program for family, partners, friends and significant others of adults living with mental illness. The weekly course is open to families from Ridgefield, Redding, Wilton and Weston. It’s designed to help family members understand and support their loved one living with mental illness, while maintaining their own well-being.

Participants will learn about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression and other mental health conditions from trained teachers who also are family members who know what it is like to have a loved one living with mental illness. Thousands of families describe the program as life-changing.

The program will be held each Thursday for 12 weeks, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., in the Carriage House of Jesse Lee Memorial United Methodist Church, 207 Main St. Ridgefield, CT.

Pre-registration is required.
