Join our next NAMI Homefront program for family members, caregivers and close friends of veterans and military service members who live with a mental health condition. The group meets weekly beginning Wednesday, February 18th and runs through March 25th, 6-8:30 pm.
There is no charge to attend and all materials are provided.
Pre-registration is required.
Homefront 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.
