NAMI Homefront is a free, six-session class for family, caregivers, close friends and significant others of Military Service Members or Veterans who live with mental health challenges. The course empowers participants to understand their loved one’s behaviors as they relate to trauma, combat stress, PTSD, reintegration into civilian life and other challenges. Topics covered include mental health, communication, handling crises, treatment and recovery.

The program is designed to help family members understand and support their Service Member or Veteran while maintaining their own well-being. NAMI Homefront leaders have personal experience with mental health conditions impacting their Service Member or Veteran.
