EDUCATION CLASS
NAMI Homefront
NAMI Homefront is a free, six-session educational program for families, caregivers, and friends of military service members and veterans living with a mental health condition. Based on the nationally recognized Family-to-Family program, Homefront is designed specifically around the experiences of the military and veteran community.
The class is taught by trained family members of service members and veterans — people who understand the unique challenges of supporting someone who has served.
About this program
Homefront helps families understand what their service member or veteran may be experiencing related to trauma, combat stress, the transition to civilian life, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. Just as importantly, it helps family members support their loved one while maintaining their own well-being.
What you'll learn
- How to understand mental health conditions common in the military and veteran community, including PTSD
- The effects of trauma, combat stress, and the transition to civilian life
- How to manage your own stress reactions and practice self-care
- Communication and problem-solving strategies for supporting your loved one
- How to prepare for and navigate a mental health crisis
- How to locate resources specific to service members and veterans
Who this is for
Homefront is for family members, caregivers, and friends (age 18+) of military service members and veterans living with a mental health condition. It addresses needs the general Family-to-Family class doesn’t cover in the same depth.
What participants say
“We are still friends with everyone that was in the class. There’s always an open ear, an open heart, and a shoulder to cry on if you need it.”
— Father of a veteran, Homefront graduate
