cha@namigreaterhouston.orgABOUT NAMI Provider Education : What is NAMI Provider Education Program?
Utilizing personal and familial perspectives to better help clinicians understand mental health illnesses.
What?
The NAMI Provider Education Program is a mental health education course designed for clinicians and providers in a 4-hour seminar format twice a year. The course 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 with severe and persistent mental illnesses.
Continuing Educational Units (CEUs) are available for licensed professionals. NAMI Greater Houston also extends this course to university students in medical school or enrolled in academic programs for nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, and related disciplines. The 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. We emphasize, using the Provider curriculum, the involvement of consumers and family members as faculty in provider-staff training.
