Opportunity Available for Section 19 Home and Community Based Services for Older and Disabled Adult Caregivers

Oct 25, 2023

The Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS) is excited to announce a virtual training opportunity scheduled to begin October 26, 2023. National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Family-to-Family is a free, 8-session educational program for family, significant others, and friends of people with mental health conditions. It is a designated evidenced-based program. This means that research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition.

This training is being provided in collaboration with NAMI Maine and is available to families of individuals receiving home and community-based services through MaineCare Section 19.

NAMI Family-to-Family is taught by NAMI-trained family members who have life experience with these conditions, and includes presentations, discussions, and interactive exercises.

Details of the training are below:
