“From day one, I've been better at communicating with my loved one who is living with mental illnesses. It has reduced a lot of stress and stigma by attending this class.”

“NAMI Family-to-Family is packed full of information, educating us along the way to so many aspects within the mental health system to help us better understand our loved ones and support them in a healthy way. It has been a valuable resource for me during my time of crisis and, when not in crisis, providing a safe environment for me to share and feel supported and learn from others. It has been a lifesaver – a place to cry and laugh and make new friends.”
-Juneau Participant
