Grassroots advocacy can be simple. You don’t have to be an expert in politics or policy to make a difference. Your lived experience can influence policymakers and affect change.

Turn your passion and your lived experience into advocacy for mental health with the NAMI Smarts for Advocacy training. NAMI Smarts for Advocacy will enhance your advocacy skills and help you shape a powerful and personal story that will move policymakers. The virtual training gives you step-by-step tools and the hands-on practice you need to feel confident and ready to make a difference.
