Elected officials decide where and how you and your family get mental
health services and supports. While they are candidates, there's a valuable
window of opportunity to get your voice heard as a potential voter. No one can
tell them better than you, the voice of lived experience, about the need for mental
health care. Learn how to cut through the noise and get through to candidates to
ask questions and share NAMI's nonpartisan mental health priorities. Attendees
will walk away with clear messages and a grassroots perspective on making NAMI
and mental health visible to candidates, and hear insights from an experienced
elected official.
