Family & Friends Seminar

A no-cost seminar for those supporting loved ones with mental health conditions. Learn communication, self‑care, crisis prep, and more.

Join us for an insightful and supportive NAMI Family & Friends seminar led by Peter Lourthu and Mark Krantz, two trained facilitators with lived experience supporting loved ones with mental health conditions. In this program, you’ll gain practical tools to better understand diagnoses, treatment options, and the recovery journey. Peter and Mark will guide you through effective communication strategies, self‑care practices, crisis preparation, and how to make the most of NAMI and community resources.

This seminar is also a meaningful opportunity to connect with others who share similar experiences. Participants often describe the class as eye‑opening, validating, and deeply encouraging. You’ll hear personal stories, learn actionable skills, and walk away feeling more informed, supported, and empowered in your role as a loved one. Whether you’re brand new to navigating mental health challenges or seeking additional guidance, this welcoming and compassion‑centered session is here to support you.
