Peer-to-Peer Classes

These classes are taught by two mental health consumers who have reached a level of stable recovery - they have undergone training to qualify them to teach the course which provides ways of coping, communication, self-care and other elements that lead to recovery.  If interested in attending this class in downtown Hamilton, please call the NAMI office at 513-860-8387.

We are in process of putting together this free 9-week educational program for people receiving mental health services. If anyone would be interested in attending these sessions focused on recovery, please call the NAMI office at 860-8387.

Hand-to-Hand Program

This program helps parents of children with mental illness issues to learn about the disorders, navigate the system and advocate for their children. Call the NAMI office 513-860-8387 for details about the next session.
