NAMI Smarts for Advocacy
Never thought of yourself as an advocate? 
Want to make a positive change in mental health services?
Want to learn how to best communicate concerning mental health issues to local, state and national politicians and leaders who determine legislation and financial decisions?

Grassroots advocacy is simple; you don’t have to know about policies or politics. It’s about using your voice to influence policy makers and make a difference.
Turn your passion and your lived experience into a positive voice for mental health with the NAMI Smarts for Advocacy grassroots advocacy training.

Make a difference. Advocate. Make your voice heard. NAMI Smarts for Advocacy
will enhance your advocacy skills and help you shape a powerful and personal story that will move policymakers.

The NAMI Smarts Difference
