NAMI Peer-to-Peer is an 8-session educational program for adults living with mental health conditions who want to better understand their experiences and move forward in their recovery.
NAMI Northwoods is looking for volunteer facilitators to help lead this program, offered both in person and virtually.
This is a structured class, not a support group. Facilitators follow a curriculum that focuses on recovery, self-awareness, communication, and building practical skills for everyday life.
Facilitators are individuals with lived experience of mental health who are further along in their recovery and want to support others on their journey. You are not expected to be a therapist or have all the answers. Your role is to guide the material, encourage discussion, and create a respectful, supportive learning environment.
Training is provided, and you will co-facilitate with a partner.
This role requires preparation, comfort speaking in front of a group, and the ability to balance structure with real conversation.
If you are passionate about recovery and want to help others build confidence and skills, this is a meaningful way to give back.
Lived experience with a mental health condition is required.
