NAMI Rome offers the following NAMI programs, which are no cost to the participant.

Where do I turn to get help? My loved one doesn't believe he has a mental illness! Why me? How can I afford to pay the hospital bills? What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

I bet you can relate to the above comments. Isn't it frustrating when you believe you're all alone? You're not! All of us who have a love one with a mental illness shared the same feeling. Family-to-Family, a 12-week FREE course, answers so many questions. NAMI-Rome offers the course twice yearly.

All I do is sleep. I can't hold a job. My "so-called" friends made fun of me when I told them I had bi-polar. How do I apply for SSI? The medications made me gain 45 pounds--who wants that? Will the voices ever go away? My family would be better off without worrying about me.

Peer-to-Peer is led by your peers. They've been there and can offer empathy and help. This 10-week FREE course is based on recovery. You'll learn about mental illness and ways to cope.

He forgets to turn in his homework and when I get on to him, he throws a fit. Where did he learn such foul language? It wasn't the least bit funny when he threw his pet rabbit into the lake! Is this a stage and if so when will it end? Sound familiar?

Parents have long sought answers. Basics, a FREE 6-week course, explores the minds of children and adolescents and offers parents and caregivers up-to-date information on many childhood behavioral problems ranging from AD/HD to early onset Bipolar disorder. You'll learn about these disorders, medication, self-help, and ways to help your child cope better.
