NAMI Homefront, Peer-to-Peer classes

NAMI Homefront is a free, 8-session educational program for families, caregivers, and friends of military service members and veterans with mental health conditions to help them move beyond assumptions and pick up on cues to understand what lies beneath a specific behavior.

Classes address the unique needs of family, caregivers, and friends of those who have served or are serving our country. Taught by trained family members of service members/veterans with mental health conditions, this program provides the opportunity for mutual support and shared positive impact.
