Peer-to-Peer is a unique, experiential learning program for people with any serious mental illness who are interested in establishing and maintaining their wellness and recovery. The course was written by Kathryn Cohan, a person with a psychiatric disability who is also a former provider and manager in the mental health field and a longtime mutual support group member and facilitator. An advisory board comprised of consumer members of NAMI, in consultation with Joyce Burland, Ph.D., author of the successful NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program, helped guide the curriculum's development.

Peer-to-Peer consists of nine two-hour units and is taught by teams of three peer teachers, or mentors who are personally experienced at living well with mental illness. Mentors are trained in weekend-long training sessions, supplied with teaching manuals, and are paid a stipend for each course they teach. Mentors must be able to read aloud, may enjoy performing and should be "team players". They can have any diagnosis, consider themselves to be in any "stage" of recovery, be of any age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or have any type of disability.
