Everyone benefits when people learn to live well with brain disorders. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is contribution a free class to anyone with mental illness. The course, Peer-to-Peer, will cover information about PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, relapse prevention, medication, addiction, communication, relationships, coping skills, stigma, problem solving, recovery, advance information for psychiatric care, and more.
It has been shown that psycho-education is a significant reason in the number of symptom recurrences. The class is 10 weeks long, two hours per week, starting March 3 in Grass Valley, at 6:30 p.m. It will focus on establishing and maintaining wellness. Some participants have said: “I learned more in these (10) weeks than I have in the last 20 years.” “There is a magic that happens when one person recovering from mental illness shares with another.” “Participants are provoked to take the next step in their recovery.”
