CLASS BEGINS February 4! NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-session educational program for family, significant others and friends of people with mental health conditions. It is a designated evidenced-based program. This means that research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition.

NAMI Family-to-Family is taught by NAMI-trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussions and interactive exercises.

As we head into 2026, many of us are thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Making resolutions can positively impact mental health, especially for those of us living with mental illness — but pursuing them is not easy.

For those of us living with mental health conditions, a lack of hope and optimism might deter us from making New Year’s resolutions at all. For those of us who do set resolutions, we might quit early. Our day-to-day struggles often make daily goals hard to achieve, causing further anxiety. If we don’t achieve set goals, we may feel like failures, which only lowers self-esteem and worsens depression.

However, when done correctly, setting goals can give us a sense of meaning and purpose. And achieving goals, even if only partially, can boost self-esteem, confidence, personal growth and a sense of accomplishment.

Here are a few tips about how to set ourselves up for success.
