New Course begins on June 4, 2019
|
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Provider Education Course is based on the N.A.M.I. Family-to-Family Program. It was augmented and edited by Joyce Burland, Ph.D. (NAMI’s National Director) to establish a 5 consecutive weeks course for Mental Health providers in collaboration with consumers and family members. Weekly class and homework handouts are compiled into a Course Notebook for future reference.
This course provides a clinical picture of collaborative secondary intervention strategies (pragmatic, concrete, practical steps) which staff can use in practice. The primary knowledge base of the course is the lived experience of consumer and family members relating to critical clinical aspects of serious brain disorders; the purpose of the course is to help providers “see our lives” from the inside so that effective, equitable and compassionate partnerships can guide the treatment process.
Dates & Times:
June 4, 2019 through June 18, 2019
For 3 Tuesday's and 2 Thursday's from 9:00am to 11:30am
Location:
DRAIL, 501 W. Weber, Suite 200A, Stockton, CA
