NEW dates for class!
Join our next NAMI Homefront class for family members, caregivers and close friends of veterans and military service members who live with a mental health condition. The class begins on September 16th and runs through October 28th, 6-8:30 pm. In an exciting new partnership with the Veterans One-Stop Center in Buffalo, the class will be held in the beautiful Harry Schultz Community Center at their offices on Niagara Street in Buffalo.
There is no charge to attend and all materials are provided.
Pre-registration is required.
The Homefront class is based on NAMI’s nationally recognized Family-to-Family class, tailored into six sessions for military family members and close friends and caregivers.
It is important to feel you can commit to attending all 6 sessions, unless there is an emergency.
