Launch of NAMI Basics
NAMI NC held their first teacher training for the new NAMI Basics
program for parents of children and adolescents with mental illness
April 4-6 in Hillsborough, NC. Fifteen teachers were trained, including
four from NAMI Wake. The teachers were extremely excited about the
course and we even have our first class starting on May 19th in
Mecklenburg County! Teri Brister, Ph.D., LPC, Director of NAMI
Programs for Young Families was the trainer and both Dr. Barbara
Burns from Duke University and Dr. Kimberly Hoagwood from Columbia
University observed the training in order to work together on an
Evidence Based evaluation on Basics in the future.
NAMI Basics class meets weekly for six weeks for parents or caregivers
of children/adolescents who showed symptoms of a mental illness
before the age of 13 (no matter what age they are now). This course
helps empower parents and caregivers so that they can become
effective advocates for their children. It also discusses medication, the
biology of mental illness and diagnoses, treatment and much more.
For parents or caregivers who are interested, upcoming classes for
NAMI Basics will be posted on the NAMI NC website at www.naminc.org
under Programs, just look for the NAMI Basics section. For more
information or to enroll in a class here in Wake County, contact
Jennifer Rothman at 788-0801 or jrothman@naminc.org.
NAMI is thrilled to have this new program and we believe that it is a
positive addition to the already established Young Family program
which educates parents, teachers and professionals about children
and adolescents with mental illness. This is just another outlet to reach
the many families out there who don’t know where to turn and need to
know that they are not alone.
