Led by NAMI | 8 weeks
If you have family or friends with mental health challenges, the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI) provides a course to cope and problem-solve in a non-threatening, anonymous setting, and at no charge. Attendees learn self-care, support resources, crisis management, treatment, and more.
This free, 8-week educational course is designed for family members, partners, and friends of individuals living with mental health conditions. Taught by trained National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI) volunteers who have personal experience, the course provides critical information about mental health diagnoses, treatment options, communication strategies, and self-care. With compassion at its core, Family-to-Family empowers participants to support their loved ones while also tending to their own well-being.

Mindful Art Course
Mindful Art Course
Tuesdays, starting September 15
1:30 – 2:30 pm, Harp Center
Did you know that one way to increase mental wellbeing is through a practice called Mindful Art? Join 30+ year The Preschool Art teacher veteran Deirdra Alexander for a 4 week exploration of creativity and mindfulness. Mindful Art is the practice of focusing entirely on the sensory experience of creating or observing art without judgment. It combines mindfulness with creative expression to lower stress, regulate emotions, and foster self-compassion. It requires zero artistic talent and focuses purely on the process, not the final product.
Cost $10 for supplies.

Grief affects us deeply—body, mind, and soul—and healing happens best in the presence of others who understand.

If you are mourning the loss of a loved one, join this caring support group led by Martha Tate, LCSW.
