Family-to-Family Teacher Training March 15-16
A State Training for Family-to-Family Teachers is coming up in a few weeks!
Training will be held over a weekend (Saturday and Sunday), from morning to mid-afternoon. This training will be held on Zoom.
You don’t have to teach alone. Just like the training, NAMI Family-to-Family is run as a team with other trained Peer to Peer teachers. We have a current Family-to-Family team running stadewide classes who are looking for people to join them, or we can help you form a new teaching team with your fellow trainees!
Family-to-Family classes usually run weekly over the course of 8 weeks, same day/time window each week for consistency. You can fit a class into a day/time that aligns with your schedule. We ideally would like to expand our in-person programming to have the most reach, but virtual groups are still in need of volunteers too! You can let us know your preferences below to let us know where you’d fit best.

Welcome to NAMI Hawaii. We Invite YOU to be a Part of Our Community.
We are NAMI Hawaii the state organization of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans living with mental illness and their families. Founded in 1979, NAMI has become the nation’s voice on mental illness. With organizations and affiliates in every state, NAMI effectively provides advocacy, research, support, and education about mental illness.
Established in 1991, NAMI Hawaii State is also dedicated to improving the quality of life of individuals and families affected by mental illnesses. Through support, education, advocacy, and awareness we improve the lives of people in Hawaii who live with mental illness. We serve our community by empowering these people to confront the profound injustices brought on by the difficulties they are forced to endure. Along with our supporters and volunteers we work to chart a course to meaningful change in Hawaii and a path to recovery.
