NAMI Basics is an educational program for parents and caregivers of children and adolescents living with mental illnesses. It covers the fundamentals of caring for yourself, your family and your child. The program will be held at the NAMI Wood County offices, 1250 Ridgewood Dr. Bowling Green, from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
Kidshop and Wellness Recovery Action Plan WRAP for Kids will be held at the same time and location as NAMI Basics, allowing parents and caregivers to attend the adult programming.
Kidshop is a free, innovative, activity-based workshop for children in 2nd through 8th grades whose lives have been impacted by a mental health diagnosis.
