NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a free, 8-session class for adults living with a mental health condition or co-occurring substance use disorder who want to maintain their wellness and recovery.
Taught by NAMI-trained volunteers who are peers with lived experience, this course includes information related to Relapse Prevention, Communication, Symptom Management, Coping Strategies, Advance Directives, and Maintaining Recovery.
This is a place to learn more about recovery in an accepting environment, and find support and compassion from people who can relate to your experiences.
We ask that you commit to attending all 8 sessions to receive the full benefit of the class.

You'll learn how to:
“I am now aware that I’m not alone. I’d like to become more involved with NAMI and advocacy.”
“I’ve really learned how to cope with my triggers better, and I’m now on the path to truly loving myself.”
“NAMI Peer-to-Peer gave me hope when I was close to giving up. I realized that things can and do get better and that my mental health condition doesn’t define me. I learned how to speak up for myself, build a strong support network and make plans for my future. I felt welcome and like I was among friends. Most importantly, I felt heard and understood.”
“I’ve learned how to communicate with my parents about what’s going on with me.”
