NAMI Washington State Conference

Central Washington University – Ellensburg, WA.

“SHARING THE JOURNEY”

The National Alliance on Mental Illness, Washington State celebrates the thirtieth

anniversary of NAMI with a high-energy statewide conference Aug 7-8! We will have

an impressive two-day agenda of speakers, workshops and creative events, offered at a

bargain price that includes meals, a night’s lodging, all programs, and even parking.

Our four featured speakers are Dr. John Chiles on choices in recovery, Rev. Craig

Rennebohm on working with homeless adults in Seattle, Judy Eron, MSW, on learning

about mania in a loved one, and Lori Yates, MSW, on improvisational drama as a healing

practice. All four are authors of nationally recognized books in mental health.

Program topics include collaborating with schools, peer/consumer recovery

successes, local and legislative advocacy, anti-stigma language, and practical personal

support. At program sessions and at the Information Fair you’ll find an array of current

materials, including research into brain disorders and recovery, crisis intervention

training for law enforcement officers, and mental health outreach for faith communities.

Also on display will be evidence of partnerships between NAMI and other groups

focused on mental health and wellness in Washington State.

We will have updates on current NAMI programs – Family to Family, Connection

Recovery Support Groups, Parents and Teachers as Allies, and In Our Own Voice – and

introductions to new initiatives such as NAMI Basics, Provider Education, and Hearts

and Minds [cardiovascular and mental health]. Smarts and Hearts advocacy training will

be available on an advance sign-up basis. Participatory events include an art show by

peers/consumers, a drum circle, and optional music and movement times.

This Conference is a great opportunity to gather and learn, for teachers,

counselors and education administrators, juvenile and adult law enforcement and justice

officials, legislators and other elected officials, medical and mental health professionals,

faith community leaders - - anyone who is advocating for mental health, wellness and

recovery. An art show featuring works by talented consumers/PEERS will be offered.

More agenda details will be forthcoming by May 23
