make a positive change in mental health services?

influence policy makers and make a difference.

positive voice for mental health with the NAMI Smarts
for Advocacy.
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 policy
makers.
