A free, 8-session educational program for adults with mental health conditions taught by trained peers who've been there — not just been trained. Understanding mental health is different when it comes from lived experience. It is a confidential class led by trained leaders with lived experience, and it does not recommend treatment approaches. Choose your state on the NAMI page to find the class nearest you through your local NAMI chapter. A Spanish version is available in a limited number of states.
