Peer to Peer

About the Class

The next class will begin January 16, 2020, every Thursday from 6:00-8:00p.m.

NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a unique, experiential learning program for people experiencing a mental health challenge who are interested in establishing and maintaining their wellness and recovery. Peer-to-Peer consists of ten two-hour units and is taught by a team of two trained “Mentors” and a volunteer support person who are personally experienced at living well with mental illness.

Participants come away from the course with:

Tangible resources compiled in a binder
An advance directive
A “relapse prevention plan” to help identify tell-tale feelings, thoughts, behavior, or events that may warn of impending relapse and to organize for intervention
Mindfulness exercises to help focus and calm thinking
Survival skills for working with providers and the general public.

This highly sought after course is ABSOLUTELY FREE, but teachers ask that participants commit to attending all 8 evening classes, 2 hours each week for 8 weeks.

If you are interested in participating, please use the registration form or call NAMI Whatcom office at (360) 671-4950.
