NAMI Big Island is welcoming you to join a free, in-person presentation partnering with the University of Hawaii at Hilo (UHH)

Join us us at UH Hilo UCB 113, on Monday, March 31, 4:30 – 5:30 pm.

NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-session educational program for family, significant others and friends of people with mental health conditions. It is a designated evidenced-based program. This means that research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition. It is taught by NAMI-trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussions and interactive exercises.

• Classes will be on Saturdays, 9 am to 12 noon HST
  February 4th to March 25th.
  

SPACE IS LIMITED TO 20 PARTICIPANTS. You must register by phone or email to attend this class.

On October 10, NAMIWalks Big Island held a virtual experience and joined by NAMIWalks across the country. NAMIWalks Your Way meant what it sounds like: participants got to make NAMIWalks their own. You could walk a 5K—through your neighborhood, around your backyard, on your treadmill. Or you could do something else meaningful and fun to celebrate our virtual walk day.
