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.
