This summer, we’re excited to launch our free, in-person NAMI Mental Health Education Courses at Southwest Partnership! Our trained NAMI volunteers bring peer-led programs communities all over Baltimore. With the unique understanding of people with lived experience with mental health conditions, these 8-week courses provide outstanding free education, skills training and support.
