Become A Mental Health Advocate!
A NAMI Smarts Advocacy training will be available on December 15, 2024. The program provides participants with the knowledge and practice they need to share their stories of mental health lived experiences as individuals, family members, or advocates in a powerful, moving way to effect legislative change.
The training will be held virtually via Zoom, allowing advocates from across the state to participate. The session will cover Modules 1, 2, and 3 and will run from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Spots are filling up quickly, so be sure to register!
Mental Health Advocacy Day 2025

We’ll be going back to an in-person format on Wednesday, January 29, from 7:45 a.m.–4 p.m. at the Statehouse and Auditorium at 111 State Street, Montpelier, to call on Vermont leaders and legislators to support the mental health of Vermonters.
