Our premier education program, Family-to-Family is a nationally renowned 12-week course taught by family members to family members of individuals living with mental illness. Often called "life changing" by class participants, the course is FREE of charge and materials are provided. One family member stated, "Nothing has helped me more over a five year period..."
