Welcome to another episode of Behind the Service with your host Jolynn Lee.
Today Jolynn sits down with Pat Siano from NAMI Homefront.
"All of these issues are about your brain. It's about brain health and brain disease. The knowledge about the brain and more research that's focused on the brain is going to help everybody in that community". Pat Siano
NAMI Homefront is a free, 6-session educational program for families, caregivers and friends of military service members and veterans with mental health conditions.
Based on the nationally recognized NAMI Family-to-Family program, NAMI Homefront is designed to address the unique needs of family, caregivers and friends of those who have served or are currently serving our country. The program is taught by trained family members of service members/veterans with mental health conditions.
