It is important to include the perspective of an individual with mental illness and/or a family member in the proposal. Only one proposal per submitter will be considered by the committee. (If more than one individual from an organization is interested in submitting a workshop, then each individual must submit their own proposal.) The person submitting this workshop proposal will be the primary contact of this session and will receive all information regarding this session (workshop acceptance, scheduling, A/V requirements, etc.). A session may only have a maximum of three presenters and one moderator. A moderator must be identified who will navigate the discussion, keep track of time and moderate questions at the end or during the session. Please review NAMI’s Mission in advance of preparing your workshop application. This will enable you to explain how your proposed workshop helps to advance the goals of the mission. Having trouble? Contact us or download a proposal form from the website.
