I just posted info on the O.C. difficult children Group here about a NAMI Basics class being offered in the Orange County, CA area for anyone here (lurkers included) that might want to attend.
I HIGHLY recommend this FREE course for anyone who is starting out on the journey of raising a child with a mental illness.
Here's highlights of the course elements:
· The trauma of mental illness for the child and the family
· The biology of mental illnessgetting an accurate diagnosis
· The latest research on the medical aspects of the illness and advances in treatment
· An overview of treatment optionstreatment works
· The impact of a childs mental illness on the rest of the familycaregivers and siblings
· An overview of the systems involved in caring for children and teens and the importance of record keeping
