SUMMARY:2024 NAMI Mississippi State Conference on Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:NAMI \n“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. \nThe 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. \nPEER SCHOLARSHIP \nAre you a Peer? (those living with a mental illness\, co-occurring disorder\, or substance use disorder) \nIf you are a Peer\, NAMI Mississippi offers a scholarship to attend the 2024 State Conference. Lodging is not included. Please complete this online application by clicking here to be considered for the 25 available scholarships. \nThe deadline for the Peer Scholarship application is April 30\, 2024. \nRegister here>> \n
