The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Vermont (NAMI Vermont), will begin the new year by educating and offering support to those with family members that live with mental illness. In addition to helping with the everyday challenges that might be expected to the friends and family of those living with mental illness, the classes provide up-to-date research surrounding mental illness. Classes run for eight weeks and will begin Thursday, March 11 at 6:30 p.m. Attendance in all eight classes is expected.
This program aims to educate families about a variety of mental health diagnoses such as schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, and co-occurring mental health and addiction conditions. The class offers up-to-date information about wellness and recovery, treatment, medications and their side-effects, mindfulness and whole health modalities, and other psychosocial options. Registration for the class is required and can be found at namivt.org or by calling 800-639-6480.
