WILLIAMSBURG-The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization devoted to building healthier lives for millions of Americans affected by mental illness. NAMI Williamsburg, an affiliate of NAMI Virginia, is offering a free educational program this spring for significant others, friends, and family members of adults who are navigating life while coping with mental health conditions.

The Family-to-Family eight-week course will be held from 6pm to 8:30pm on Wednesday evenings beginning March 22. Participants will gather at the House of Mercy, 10 Harrison Ave., Williamsburg, for the duration of the program.

The support, education, and advocacy organization is dedicated to improving the quality of life and attaining the highest potential of recovery for people with anxiety, brain disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions.

The New Local News Model

On July 1, we started a new way to pay for news. Yes, we want you to subscribe, but we know nobody subscribes to every site they visit just because there's a paywall.

So if you don't want to subscribe (even at the low price of $39.99 for a year), you can pay for access to individual articles. Or just buy a 24-hour pass, as if you were buying a single copy of a newspaper. We use a new payment service called Transact, which lets you pay for individual articles in as little as three seconds. And you will get $3 in credit when you sign up (just an email address, no credit card required), which will let you pay for at least 20 articles.

This is new for everyone, so we're going to ease you into this. Initially, there won't be many articles that you have to pay for. Short ones will always be free. And even the longer stories will let you read the first half or so for free. We'd love to hear what you think, so send us a note at feedback@peninsulachronicle.com.

The Peninsula Chronicle reports on business news on the Virginia Peninsula, from Williamsburg to Newport News and Hampton.
