The free, 8-session education program is for family, friends, and significant others of those living with mental illness.

The course is designed to help all family members understand and support their loved one living with mental illness, while maintaining their own well-being.

Some of the diagnoses discussed include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, mental illness with substance use disorder, PTSD and others.
