Basic Computer Class

The NAMI Tech CAFÉ provides computer classes to 360 individuals a year throughout all six regions of San Diego County to those that identify as having a mental illness and their involved family members. It is our belief through learning about how to use computers, participants will be better able to access resources made available to them electronically, and help them lead a self-directed healthy lifestyle.
