NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-session course for people who support someone living with a mental health condition. It is led by trained family members who have been there and understand what it is like.
NAMI Northwoods is looking for volunteer facilitators to help lead this program, offered both in person and virtually.
You do not need to be a professional. You do not need to have all the answers. You need lived experience, the ability to listen, and a willingness to guide conversation using a structured curriculum.
Facilitators create a space where people feel understood, supported, and less alone. Training and materials are provided, and you will co-facilitate with a partner.
This is meaningful work. It can also be challenging. You will be supporting people during difficult moments, but you will also see growth, connection, and real impact.
If you have ever thought, “I wish I had something like this when I was going through it,” this is your chance to be that for someone else.
Lived experience as a family member or loved one of someone with a mental health condition is required.
