Classes will be held every Tuesday through October 12 from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.
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.
“This course overall was the single most, without a doubt, helpful and informative thing ever offered in all my years searching for answers. It has helped me to understand better and communicate more effectively with my brother,” said a past participant.
