NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 12-session educational program tailored for family, friends, and significant others of adults living with mental illness. This MHACC offering is generously funded by Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF).

MHACC is proud to offer this evidence-based program with a unique adaptation: the classes are conducted in Chinese and incorporate culture-sensitive elements to resonate deeply with the Chinese community. Taught by trained family members who have firsthand experience with mental health conditions, this program not only provides critical caregiving information but also emphasizes cultural understanding and support.

Participants will learn about various mental health conditions, navigate the complexities of the mental health system, and develop skills for effective advocacy and communication.

By integrating culturally specific examples and practices, MHACC aims to enhance the relevance and impact of the material, ensuring it addresses the unique needs and values of the Chinese communities. The goal is to empower caregivers with knowledge and tools to effectively manage mental health challenges and promote their own well-being, reinforcing community bonds and reducing stigma within a culturally affirming framework.
