NAMI Homefront is a free, six-session education program for family, friends and significant others of Military Service Members and Veterans with mental health conditions. It focuses on the unique needs of military and Veteran communities, such as post-deployment and post-discharge transitions.

The course is designed to help family members understand and support their loved one while maintaining their own well-being. The trained teachers of this course are also family members who have experience with military culture and know what it’s like to have a loved one living with symptoms of a mental health condition.

This flag will be flown for the month of September, and symbolizes the commitment of the region to hope, recovery, and resilency and honors the memories of those in Buffalo and across NY who have died by su***de.

NEW START DATE! October 14 - November 18.

According to the 2024 RAND report "America's Military and Veteran Caregivers: Hidden Heroes Emerging from the Shadows," military and veteran caregivers under age 60 are nearly 4x more likely to meet the criteria for depression than non-caregivers.

NAMI Buffalo & Western New York, in partnership with Veterans One-Stop Center, is pleased to be offering NAMI Homefront: a safe, confidential space for these caregivers to come together for 6 weeks, find community, and learn skills to better support their loved ones while maintaining their own well-being.

Classes start Sept 16 & will be Tuesdays from 6-8:30 pm @ 1255 Niagara St #230. Registration required / call or email to secure your spot.
