NAMI Family-to-Family Teacher Training Scheduled in September in North Andover

Here’s your opportunity to become a trained

NAMI Family-to-Family Teacher!

Our Family-to-Family education course (F2F) is taught by family members, like you, who have already taken a F2F course!

People who care and empathize with other family members who also love someone with a mental illness…

To help guide family members through the trauma of dealing with all the complications

and let them know they are not alone!

The F2F curriculum is designed to enable co-leaders who are not mental health “professionals” to

conduct the classes.  Teaching experience is not needed! However … Attendance is required for the entire training.

The FREE Weekend training for new Family-to-Family teachers in Massachusetts will be held at;

The Rolling Ridge Retreat & Conference Center in North Andover

September 7^th (9:00am) through September 9^th, 2012 (3:00pm)

(All meals, dorm/shared rooms and materials are free of charge!)

I know we all wish we had perfect healthy families without having a care in the world,

but in reality our families struggle everyday and our Family-to-Family Education Program makes

the struggle a little less and the joy a little more for the participants as well as the volunteers

who teach it! We hope you will consider joining our wonderful team of F2F dedicated teachers!

****Also looking for Bi-Lingual people to train in English and to teach a course Spanish****

Now our fine print…really not so bad;

You must register before August 1, 2012 NAMI Massachusetts is required to train & teach the F2F program.

Because of the expense of the training we ask for you to teach a minimum of two 12 week courses.

(Does not have to be 2 in a row)
