Individuals with lived experience who are interested in becoming trained NAMI facilitators or presenters for support groups and educational programs. Requirements include attending groups prior to training, completing a 2-day training, and being willing to follow NAMI program guidelines.
Facilitating groups is not providing therapy. Facilitators help create safe, supportive peer environments where individuals with similar experiences can share what they have been through, discuss what has helped them, and support one another in their wellness journeys. Facilitators participate as peers, not experts.
