NAMI Basics 

​

NAMI National has created NAMI Basics OnDemand in response to the outpouring of requests by parents and caregivers for a program option that doesn’t require in-person attendance. The OnDemand format gives participants an opportunity to get engaged with NAMI programs who otherwise may not be able to participate in their communities.

NAMI Basics OnDemand facts:

​

• The six-module course covers the same material as the in-person NAMI Basics classes.

• NAMI Basics OnDemand gives parents and caregivers the opportunity to participate in NAMI Basics on their own schedule without the worry of finding care for their children, traveling or feeling the disappointment of an in-person class canceling because of low enrollment.

• The Connect and Share option in NAMI Basics OnDemand offers parents and caregivers the opportunity to share stories, support and interact with each other in an online setting.
