NAMI classes to start

MARQUETTE — Family members of individuals diagnosed with a mental illness may greatly benefit from a 12-week “Family to Family” education course to be offered by National Alliance on Mental Illness Alger/Marquette.

The 12-week series of classes is free and confidential. Classes will be held Tuesdays, Feb. 12 through April 30 from 6-8:30 p.m. at 129 W. Baraga Ave., Marquette.

The course will cover a broad range of topics, including information about schizophrenia, mood disorders (bipolar disorder and major depression), panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and PTSD.

The course is designed specifically for parents, siblings, spouses, teenage and adult children, significant others and friends of people with a mental illness. This course also helps people understand that this is an illness and not something they can just “deal with it, shape up” as most times they just have no control over their actions.

With the tragedies of well-known public figures dealing with depression, NAMI believes now more than ever the timing of this class is so important for families to learn more about the types of mental illnesses.

Call to register for the classes by Feb. 1; however new class members will be accepted until Feb. 11.

For further information or to register, contact Louise Wilcox at 906-235-0231, or Cindy Bertucci at 906-360-7107.
