Nami palm beach county also offered nami homefront, a free education program for family caregivers of military service members and veterans, as well as nami peer-to-peer, a recovery-focused education program for individuals living with mental health conditions. Collectively, these evidence-based programs strengthened communication skills, improved family engagement, and supported recovery and resilience.
