NAMI Homefront is a free, 6-session educational program for families, caregivers and friends of military service members and vets with mental health conditions.
Based on the nationally recognized NAMI Family-to-Family program, NAMI Homefront is designed to address the unique needs of

family members of service members/veterans living with mental health conditions.
NAMI Homefront teaches you how to:
-Manage crises, solve problems and communicate effectively
-Learn to care for yourself, including managing your stress
-Develop the confidence and stamina to support your family member with compassion
-Identify and access federal, state and local services
-Stay informed on the latest research and information on mental health, including posttraumatic stress disorder and substance
abuse
-Understand current treatments, including evidence-based therapies, medications and side effects
-Navigate the challenges and impact of mental health conditions on the entire family
**Please note the time commitment required to participate in the Homefront program. It is important that participants show up
each week over the 6 week period. If you will miss more than 1 or 2 classes, consider waiting until the next class to see if it better
fits with your schedule.
