NAMI – Homefront

NAMI Homefront is a free, 6-session educational program for families, caregivers and friends of military service members and veterans 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, caregivers and friends of those who have served or are currently serving our country. The program is taught by trained family members of service members/veterans with mental health conditions. NAMI Homefront teaches you how to: Learn to care for yourself, including managing your stress; 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, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, depression and substance use; Understand current treatments and evidence-based therapies; Navigate the challenges and impact of mental health conditions on the entire family; Manage a crisis, solve problems and communicate effectively. We understand attending an in-person class can be difficult for busy individuals and families. NAMI is excited to announce the launch of our free online suite of resources for caregivers, family members, and military service members and veterans designed to increase understanding, communication, wellness and advocacy skills. Accessible through computers or mobile devices, NAMI Homefront Mental Health Resources is available 24/7 and includes information about: Mental health conditions; Treatment options; Approaches to increase overall wellness; Tips for self-care and managing stress; Communication strategies; Transitioning from military to civilian life; Links to helpful organizations and crisis services; And more!
