NAMI Mercer is currently accepting registration for Family-to-Family, a free, 12-week education course for adult family members of persons living with mental illness.

The classes will be held held on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church and will begin on April 15.

The classes are taught by trained volunteers who have experienced mental illness in their own families.

By attending this program, family members have the opportunity to meet others like themselves in a confidential setting. The curriculum covers the biology of brain disorders, recent developments in brain research related to mental illness, and the latest medication and treatment options. Families also learn how to cope with the stress of caregiving and how best to advocate for their loved ones.

Registration is required.

Trinity United Methodist Church is located at 1985 Pennington Road, Ewing.
