| Oct 3 Senior Fall Prevention Series - Part 1 |
Don’t worry! We aren’t trying to prevent the changing of the leaves or keep the pumpkin spice lattes out of your local coffee shop! No. We are talking about a more serious type of fall.
A fall can be very detrimental to the senior community. Villa St. Benedict strives to be a resource for our local older adult community. That’s why this October we are offering a 2-part series on how to prevent falls in the senior population. Our director of nursing, physical therapist, and director of our fitness center will team together for this very informative series that is free to the public. Come yourself, or bring your older loved one!

| Oct 3 NAMI Family to Family Class |
Class is held at NAMI DuPage in the Community Center in Wheaton.
This class meets weekly on Tuesdays nights for 12 weeks. Will also meet on 11/13 and 11/20.
NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 12-session educational program for family, significant others and friends of people living with mental illness. It is a designated evidenced-based program. Research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to an individual living with a mental health condition.
NAMI Family-to-Family is taught by NAMI-trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussion and interactive exercises.
What You’ll Gain
NAMI Family-to-Family not only provides critical information and strategies for taking care of the person you love, but you'll also find out that you're not alone. Recovery is a journey, and there is hope.
The group setting of NAMI Family-to-Family provides mutual support and shared positive impact—you can experience compassion and reinforcement from people who understand your situation. You can also help others through your own experience. In the program, you'll learn about:
How to manage crises, solve problems and communicate effectively
Taking care of yourself and managing your stress
Developing the confidence and stamina to provide support with compassion
Finding and using local supports and services
Up-to-date information on mental health conditions and how they affect the brain
Current treatments, including evidence-based therapies, medications and side effects
The impact of mental illness on the entire family
What People are Saying
"Before I took the course, I felt alone and overwhelmed dealing with my daughter’s mental illness. By taking this course, I have met others who are going through the same things I am and have learned about many resources that I never knew existed."
"I thought my wife and I knew just about everything there is to know about the system and the illness. Boy, were we wrong. Without a doubt, this is the best support course I have had the privilege of taking part in, bar none." |

Class is held at the Compass Church in Wheaton.
Class meets twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays for 3 weeks.
NAMI Basics is a free, 6-week education program for parents and family caregivers of children and teens who are experiencing symptoms of a mental illness or whom have already been diagnosed. NAMI Basics is offered in a group setting so you can connect with other people face-to-face.
You'll learn the facts about mental health conditions and how best to support your child at home, at school and when they're getting medical care. Last year, 99% of participants told us they would recommend the program to other parents.
The course is taught by a trained team with lived experience—they know what you're going through because they've been there. The 6-session program provides critical strategies for taking care of your child and learning the ropes of recovery.
What You’ll Gain
At NAMI Basics, you'll find out that you're not alone. Recovery is a journey, and there is hope. The group setting of NAMI Basics provides mutual support and shared positive impact—you can experience compassion and reinforcement from people who understand your situation. You also can help others with your own experience.
NAMI Basics covers:
Managing crises, solving problems and communicating effectively
How to take care of yourself and handle stress
Developing the confidence and stamina to support your child with compassion
Advocating for your child's rights at school and in health care settings
Sample Record Keeping System
Learning about current treatments, including evidence-based therapies, medications and side effects

Class is held at the Compass Church in Wheaton.
Class meets twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays for 3 weeks.
NAMI Basics is a free, 6-week education program for parents and family caregivers of children and teens who are experiencing symptoms of a mental illness or whom have already been diagnosed. NAMI Basics is offered in a group setting so you can connect with other people face-to-face.

At NAMI Basics, you'll find out that you're not alone. Recovery is a journey, and there is hope. The group setting of NAMI Basics provides mutual support and shared positive impact—you can experience compassion and reinforcement from people who understand your situation. You also can help others with your own experience.
NAMI Basics covers:
Managing crises, solving problems and communicating effectively
How to take care of yourself and handle stress

Advocating for your child's rights at school and in health care settings

| Oct 24 Senior Fall Prevention Series - Part 2 |
Don’t worry! We aren’t trying to prevent the changing of the leaves or keep the pumpkin spice lattes out of your local coffee shop! No. We are talking about a more serious type of fall.
A fall can be very detrimental to the senior community. Villa St. Benedict strives to be a resource for our local older adult community. That’s why this October we are offering a 2-part series on how to prevent falls in the senior population. Our director of nursing, physical therapist, and director of our fitness center will team together for this very informative series that is free to the public. Come yourself, or bring your older loved one!
