Advocacy

Joining our voices in public concerns...

In so many ways, mental health stigma and the inconvenience with which our society dismisses our disabilities; presents a need to collectively advocate an equitable and humane adjustments for the sake of all those who attempt to courageously carry on in the daily struggle to be as productive as remains possible.

 Sometimes the business community or neighborhoods need a better understanding of our plight. Sometimes a school or government agency needs to hear from us.  

  We hold workshops throughout the year, to train people like you to effectively communicate to those who can effect change.

 When laws and ordinances are being considered; or funding judgments are being pondered, we encourage the NAMI membership to express their concerns.
