       NAMI is an organization that does peer to peer counseling for
       friends and family of people who have Bipolar. It is a support
       organization for people who are the family members and friends
       of people who have Bipolar. It is nationwide in the US.
       The classes cover other mental illnesses as well.
       The classes cover medications a patient might be on. My mom is
       taking the class and she got a big thick book on medications.
       She got a big binder with all sorts of info. She got a book on
       Bipolar. She has been given a boatload of info and the class is
       not even over. Her class meets every other week and is 12 weeks
       long. She is getting an in depth education on mental illness
       overall and Bipolar in particular.
       It is a place for friends and family members to come together
       and talk and commensurate about what it is like to deal with us.
       It is also a place for them to get educated and find a better
       way to cope with us.
