Peer-to-Peer:

The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill’s Peer-to-Peer Education Course is a FREE nine week program with classes for two and one half hours per week.  This educational recovery program is for any person with serious mental illness.  The goal is to assist those interested in establishing and maintaining wellness.  The Course uses a combination of lecture, interactive exercises, and structured group processes. The diversity of experiences among course participants affords for a lively dynamic that moves the course along.

The Course is designed to offer an opportunity for growth to ANY individual who experiences mental illness.

The Course is taught by a team of three trained “mentors” or Peer-teachers, who are themselves experienced at living well with mental illness.

NAMI’s Peer-to-Peer Education Course is provided free of charge by Skagit County Human Services for persons who experience mental illness.  You do not need to be a member of NAMI to take Peer-to-Peer.
