NAMI PEER-TO-PEER | NAMI - JOHNSON COUNTY
R Place Peer Recovery Center offers NAMI Peer-to-Peer (P2P) class for adults experiencing mental illness(es), including substance use disorder. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) is an eight session course available completely FREE through the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Johnson County (NAMI JC).
P2P is taught by "Peers," which is how we refer to adults with mental illness at NAMI. Two or three trained Peer Instructors volunteer to teach the 2 hour per session, 8 week course. The class allows Peers to learn about common mental illness diagnoses, teaches effective ways to deal with them, and empowers attendees with Self Advocacy skills to get the best care.
