NAMI has partnered with the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) to create “Circle of Care: A Guidebook for Mental Health Caregivers.” This guidebook emerged from the national study on mental health caregiving, “On Pins and Needles: Caregivers of Adults with Mental Illness.” Like our other resources for family caregivers, Circle of Care is designed to guide unpaid friends, family and neighbors who care for someone with a mental health condition. Fact sheets included are intended to assist these caregivers with finding help for the specific challenges identified in the On Pins and Needles study.
