This video is from NAMI Wisconsin and highlights their Peer Leadership Council. We are always interested in individuals who are in recovery from their mental health condition who would be willing to be trained through NAMI Wisconsin to facilitate the NAMI Peer Support Group and Peer-to-Peer classes, which we would provide support for. If you are interested, please contact us. Two individuals are required to facilitate these groups.
***We are actively recruiting individuals who are interested in volunteering to teach our NAMI Family-to-Family, Basics and Peer-to-Peer classes. All costs to attend the training are covered. Requirements are to be a NAMI member, highly recommended to have taken a NAMI Family class yourself previously, and to have a close family member who is living with a mental illness that you have had experiences helping. We also are looking for Peer Individuals in recovery who are able to lead Peer support programs. Please contact us if you are interested.
The National Alliance for Caregiving, in partnership with National Alliance for Mental Illness, has created a new guidebook to help you care for someone with a mental illness and to help you care for yourself. Visit to download a copy.
