Important Notice as of February 1, 2026
Due to changes in organizational sponsorship requirements, the NAMI Family-to-Family program is currently suspended in Ontario and Quebec.
As a result, scheduled courses will not proceed at this time. This pause is administrative and governance-related and is not a reflection of the program’s effectiveness, value, or the commitment of facilitators and volunteers.
We recognize the importance of family education and peer support and appreciate the patience and understanding of families and community partners during this period. Updates will be shared if and when new organizational arrangements are confirmed.
