NAMI Chaffee County will also be offering a free, virtual Family-to-Family course on Thursday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. April 8 through March 27, also via Zoom. This eight-week course is designed to increase understanding and advocacy skills while helping participants maintain their own wellbeing.
