About NAMI's Education, Training, & Peer Support Programs

NAMI offers an array of peer education and training programs and
services for consumers, family members, providers, and the general
public. NAMI's education and support programs provide relevant
information, valuable insight, and the opportunity to engage in support
networks.

These programs draw on the lived experience of mental health
consumers and family members who have learned to live well with their
illnesses and have been extensively trained to help others, as well as the
expertise of mental health professionals and educators.

Whether you are a consumer, a family member, a provider, or a member
of the general public, there is a NAMI education or support program to
help you learn more about mental illnesses, develop coping strategies, or
find the support you need.
A Guide To Evidence-Based Practices (EBP)
on The Web

Purpose of This Web Guide

direct connections to Web sites that contain information about
interventions to prevent and/or treat mental and substance use
disorders.  The Web Guide provides a list of Web sites that contain

(EBPs).
