Upcoming Teacher/Facilitator Trainings

NAMI Utah announces two facilitator trainings and two teacher trainings coming up in March.

1.  Connection facilitator training- this program is a weekly consumer recovery support group.  Facilitators are individuals who have been diagnosed and living with mental illness.  The facilitator training will be held March 5-7 in SLC (new dates).

2.  Family Support Group facilitator training- This is a support group for family members who have a loved one with a mental illness.  Facilitators are peer family members.  The training will be held March 5-6 in SLC (new dates).

3. Basics teacher training- this program is a 6-week education course for parents/caregivers who have a child or adolescent with mental illness. We will be training teachers for this program March 26-28th in SLC. Teachers are parents/caregivers who have had a child or adolescent with mental health issues and who have preferably taken the course. This is a volunteer position.

4. Progression teacher training- this program is a 6 week education course for youth ages 15-21 who are experiencing mental health issues, and is usually taught next door to NAMI Basics. There is a teacher training March 27th in SLC.  Teachers are individuals who have been diagnosed with mental illness and are in recovery and who can identify with youth and their experience. This position pays a small reimbursement stipend.
