SUMMARY:Provider Education Program
DESCRIPTION:The NAMI Provider Education Program is a 5-week course that presents a penetrating, subjective view of family and consumer experiences with serious mental illness to line staff at public agencies who work directly with people experiencing severe and persistent mental illnesses.\nThe course helps providers realize the hardships that families and consumers face and appreciate the courage and persistence it takes to live with and recover from mental illness.\nHow is the Provider Education course unique?\nThe Provider Course emphasizes the involvement of consumers and family members as faculty in provider-staff training.  The teaching team consists of five people:\n\nTwo family members trained as Family-to-Family Education Program teachers;\nTwo consumers who are knowledgeable about their own mental illness, have a supportive relationship with their families, and are dedicated to the process of recovery; and\nA mental health professional who is also a family member.\n\nThe course reflects a new knowledge base — the “lived experiences” of people coping with a mental illness or caring for someone who lives with a mental illness.  Including this deeply personal perspective creates an appreciable difference in the program’s content.  It adds a means of teaching the emotional aspects and practical consequences of these illnesses to the academic medical information in the course.\nThe next scheduled series will be held in Oroville. The class is open to everyone. For more information or to register for this class, call NAMI Butte County at (530) 343-7775 \nWe will structure this course to suit your group’s timeline and needs. For more information on bringing the Provider Education program to your group, call Diane Davis at the Butte County Department of Behavioral Health via email ( mailto:ddavis@buttecounty.net )\n
