NAMI NH Virtual Annual Conference

• Be part of a community of mental health – recognizing they are not alone, that NAMI NH is families helping families.
• Recognize the importance of peer voices and lived experience.
• Learn ways to reduce stigma and discrimination.
• Understand the many forms mental health recovery takes.
• Learn individual advocacy.
• Understand mental health is connected with overall health and well-being.

Our conference participants come from communities all around New Hampshire and are interested in learning more about mental illness. This includes broadening their understanding of ways to support each other, reduce stigma, advocate for quality mental health services and find needed resources. Those we encourage to attend include parents who have a child or youth with an emotional disorder, families who are supporting an adult or older adult loved one with mental illness, those who have a mental illness, military families, peer recovery professionals, individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide, families and individuals who are struggling with co-occurring disorders and the service providers who support recovery efforts in New Hampshire. This is an opportunity to come together to learn, network and communicate messages of hope.
