Two New NAMI Basics Classes
Starting

NAMI Basics is a new NAMI national signature education program for parents and other caregivers of children and adolescents living with mental illness.
The six session course is taught by trained teachers who are also parents/caregivers of individuals who developed the symptoms of mental illness in childhood. The course provides the fundamentals a caregiver needs to care for themselves, their family, and their child who is living with a mental illness.

As part of the NAMI Basics Education Program curriculum development, NAMI’s Medical Director, Dr. Ken Duckworth, answers a few of the most commonly asked questions by parents and other caregivers of children and adolescents with mental illness. Dr. Duckworth’s responses to 28 different questions can be viewed by clicking on the video clip beneath each question.
