NAMI of Union County to meet at Clark Recreation Center

Union County residents are invited to register for the fall Family-to-Family Education Program that begins Wednesday, Sept 7, 2011. Presented by the Union County Chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), the course meets from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm on Wednesday evenings, over a 12-week period. It is free-of-charge, with all necessary materials furnished at no cost.

The course is offered specifically to the parents, siblings, spouses, teenage and adult children, and significant others of individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. It is not appropriate for individuals who themselves suffer from one of the major mental disorders.

In a confidential setting, loved ones will learn how to understand and support their ill relative while maintaining their own well-being. The program is taught by volunteer NAMI members who have completed intensive training.

Classes will meet at the Clark Recreation/Municipal Building, 430 Westfield Ave, Clark Registration is required prior to the beginning of the course: call Irene Bien at (908) 531-8306. Refreshments will be served.
