NAMI Peer-to-Peer

NAMI Peer-to-Peer is a free, 8-session class for adults living with a mental health condition or co-occurring substance use who want to better understand themselves and their journey toward recovery.

Taught by NAMI-trained volunteers who are peers with lived experience with mental illness, Peer-to-Peer teaches skills and strategies through presentations, discussion and interactive exercises.

This is a place to learn more about recovery in an accepting environment. Here you will find support and compassion from people who can relate to your experiences.

NAMI Jacksonville never recommends a specific medical therapy or treatment approach.
