We provide a nine-week experiential course on recovery for any person with serious mental illness who is interested in establishing and maintaining wellness. The course is taught by trained “mentors”, or peer-teachers, who are themselves experienced at living well with mental illness.
Taught by trained volunteers, NAMI Orange County provides an intensive twelve-week program for families to teach them the knowledge and required skills to cope with their loved ones affected by mental illness, facilitate the treatment process, and contribute to the return to health. This program is free for families who have relatives with serious mental illnesses. This program is also taught in Spanish.
