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 8-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 8-week FREE course is based on recovery.  You'll learn about mental illness and ways to cope.

THe 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.  The course is now offered online.
