NAMI Illinois Teacher Training for Visions
For Tomorrow.
Visions for Tomorrow is
an 8-week psycho-educational program for parents/primary
caregivers of children and adolescents with brain disorders.
Though somewhat similar to Family to Family, Visions for
Tomorrow (VFT) is markedly different because it concentrates
solely and specifically on children and adolescents, whose
symptoms and resulting difficulties are very different from those
faced by families with adults who suffer from brain disorders.
Workshops include:
 | How the brain works
| ADD, PDD/Autism, Tourette’s, Conduct
Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Eating Disorders,
Anxiety Disorders, OCD, Post-Traumatic Stress, Separation
Anxiety, Panic, Phobia, Generalized Anxiety, Childhood
Schizophrenia, and Schizoaffective Disorder.
| Sharing Our Unique Life Experiences
| Organization of Data and Record Keeping
| Communication Skills
| Self-care for Caregivers
| Problem Solving
| Recovery and Transition
| Judicial Systems
| Continuing Support Group Formation |
