What people in Ontario have said about the NAMI Family-to-Family
Education Program:
One young lady, an ill family member, came with her parents to the
final lesson. She told the class "The fact that my parents took the
course probably saved my life. Without the education they received I
would not have called them to help me when I overdosed."
"Fantastic - very well structured - a must for all family
members. Increased awareness about what is being done in research - more
hopeful about recovery. A real empathy workshop; more compassion."
"Excellent. I feel this Education Course has saved my son's life
as well as mine. It has given me strength and understanding so I can
better understand and help him in a positive direction."
"I think this is the best course anybody could take to better
understand the illnesses and it helps you learn to better care for that
person. It's a course that I think everyone should take. I wish I had it
6 years ago when things started with my wife."
"Lots of good information, well researched, compassionate, says
what no one else is saying but should be. Very encouraging that I'm not
the only one frustrated and disappointed with the lack of competent
compassionate mental health professionals out there."
"I thought the course was wonderful: so much knowledge and
information put before us. It was a lot to absorb - I know I will be
using it for reference and re-read to get me through the rough patches
for years to come."
"Incredible - supportive, educational, grounding, comforting,
positive, pro-active."
