NAMI Basics is an education program for parents and family caregivers of
children and teens (ages 22 and younger) who are experiencing symptoms of
a mental illness or whom have already been diagnosed.

You'll learn the facts about mental health conditions and how best to
support your child at home, at school and when they're getting medical
care. Last year, 99% of participants told us they would recommend the
program to other parents.

The 6-session program provides critical strategies for taking care of your
child and learning the ropes of recovery. At NAMI Basics, you'll find out
that you're not alone. Recovery is a journey, and there is hope.
