We have multiple exciting Community Advocate Speaker opportunities for non-NAMI employees from now until the end of June 2026 for those who attend our Telling Your Story Training. However, you can only sign up to share your story for one event. Everyone who attends our Telling Your Story Training and fills out the post evaluation form at the end of the training is eligible to receive a gift card honorarium up to $100. You can also share your story at one of our events to receive an additional gift card honorarium up to $100.
To be eligible please sign up for an upcoming Telling Your Story Trainings!
We have multiple dates and times, but both trainings are the same. You are only required to attend 1 of our trainings to be eligible to be a speaker at a future event.
NAMI Smarts: Telling Your Story Training
We'll talk about why advocacy for mental health care is so important and the power of your story to influence others, especially policymakers. When you leave this workshop, our goal is that you take with you a version of your story that you can use to raise awareness, to inspire others and, above all, to influence policymakers to improve the lives of all people affected by mental health conditions. For additional questions, please email communityadvocacy@namisd.org.
You are invited to a Zoom meeting.
