Join us for our monthly PEER & FAMILY Support Groups
Peer to Peer – We will be having a virtual class in the Fall, probably on Thursday afternoons. Would love to have an in-person class too. We need more leaders for these classes. If interested, please email me at info@namitarrant.org
Basics – This class is available virtually on demand through the NAMI Texas website. It is 6 modules and you can do them at your pace from the comfort of your home or work.
Homefront – This class is for veterans and their family members. I need leaders for this class. If you are a veteran or the family member of a veteran, please contact me at info@namitarrant.org about being trained to be a Homefront leader.

These opportunities will include either teaching a class to educate people on various conditions and/or facilitating a support group in these specific areas.
