Why?

Your personal stories carry so much weight and each one of us has a story to tell.  The challenge is to learn how to deliver your message in a concise way.  NAMI Smarts gives you the tools to be a successful advocate.

NAMI and Faith

NAMI has educational programs and brochures to take to faith leaders and congregations that are very helpful in thwarting stigma and promoting recovery.  www.nami.org/faithnet is such a great resource and we urge NAMI members, mental health providers, and community stakeholders to contact NAMI Rome to deliver a presentation to area churches and synagogues.

NAMI on Campus

Rome is the home of three colleges and one university which are very active in the community.  NAMI on Campus is a great way to fight stigma and create an atmosphere of acceptance on college campuses.  NAMI Rome has fostered relationships with area colleges and hopes to put a fire on students to establish "NAMI on Campus" clubs.  Click here to learn more.
