NAMI

“Where Mental Meets Physical” Inspired by the new NAMI Hearts + Minds program, this year’s theme was chosen as physical and mental health are connected. Research suggests that the two are so closely linked that they can even directly affect one another. For example, depression can increase one’s risk for diabetes, heart disease, or stroke, and chronic conditions such as cancer or heart disease can increase a person’s risk of developing a mental health condition.

The conference will be held from May 16-17, 2024, with half-day sessions on Friday, May 17. Lunch on Thursday, May 16, is included. CEUs are being applied for and included unless the issuer requires a separate payment.
