Classes on Mental Health
The Mid-Tidewater affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Health will be offering the Peer-to-Peer Education Program in person beginning February 14, 2023. NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a free, eight-session educational program for adults with mental health conditions who are looking to better understand themselves and their recovery.
Taught by trained leaders with lived experience, this program includes activities, discussions and informative videos. However, as with all NAMI programs, it does not include recommendations for treatment approaches.
NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a safe, confidential space. The course provides an opportunity for mutual support and growth. Experience compassion and understanding from people who relate to your experiences. This is a place to learn more about recovery in an accepting environment.
NAMI Peer-to-Peer helps you:
-
Set a vision and goals for the future
-
Partner with health care providers
-
Develop confidence for making decisions
-
Practice relaxation and stress reduction tools
-
Share your story
-
Strengthen relationships
-

The class will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 4 weeks at the Gloucester Peer Recovery Resource Center in Gloucester VA.
