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.
NOTE: There is no class on September 30th. There is no charge to attend and all materials are provided.
